Ango and Roaring 40's pizza

There is a farmers market every Saturday ( I think I talked about this before) in a neighboring town just outside of Angaston (another larger neighboring town).  Andrea and I decided to bike there and the only way we knew how was on some busy farm roads.  The roads are pretty narrow and there isnt much of a shoulder to bike on so that was a bit nerve racking. Anyways, we made it there no troubles and had a look. Luckily
 we ran into a coworker who told us about a bike path that goes straight in to Nuri, so we found that and took it home.

This brings me to my next adventure.... There is a pizza place that everyone talks about having the best pizza in the Barossa, so naturally Kaitlyn and I had to go. It is in Angaston so I also knew the way to get there via the bike path!

It is about 6 kilometers from Nuri to Ango, which isn't a too bad for a bike ride. We thought, this will be a good little work out and reward ourselves with some pizza and then ride back, no problem! But.... 2K into the ride, my back tire went completely flat. It was a nice day out and the bike path is very scenic, in between many different vineyards, so we decided to push our bikes and continue on.

We finally made it to the pizza place after about an hr of pushing the bikes along (it was worth it) and ordered our pizza. At this point we needed to find a way home. This was the first time we had done anything where Kaitlyn didnt bring her phone (usually we never use it!) and mine was out of credit and about to die. Luckily the manager of the place let us borrow his phone to call for a ride.

We ended up calling Bec, the lab manager, who came straight away to give us a helping hand. The only problem was that she brought her car which didnt fit 2 bikes..... so she drove all the way home to get a bigger car but couldnt find the keys, so she came back to get us. The restaurant manager again was extremely nice and helpful and allowed us to store our bikes in their back shed until the next day when Bec's boyfriend could go pick them up. Everyone is so so nice here and our disaster ended up being an adventure and just another Tuesday night in the Barossa.
