Blow Up Job

Trail candy (n): A delightful looking woman decked out with cute jersey, pink helmet, awesome mountain bike and hydration system. Playing damsel in distress at trail side because she has a flat tire and doesn’t know how to fix it. Looking to wave down the next dude (or a pack of them) in hopes of convincing him to fix her tire and potentially placing herself at risk to cheesy pick-up lines.
