No Fire Sale at Scott's



Miles: 34.96
August Total: 371.98

Thanks to a very effective brick fire wall, Scott's Bicycle Shop (and my LeMond) suffered no significant damage from the fire that destroyed McMahan's Furniture Store.

I rode my Redline (my rain bike) down to Scott's to check out the fire damage, when I saw the group leaving downtown Salem! Apparently, the Fire Department had just let them into their store an hour earlier and the Scott's Thursday Night Ride was on! We did the Windsor Inland Loop, a relaxed ride, so I had the chance to talk to Steve Lewis, one of the owners. He said that they suffered only minor smoke damage and nothing more. They were very lucky!
