Pushing is never fun...
especially when its hot out and ur in your gear. HOWEVER, the bike was kindly enough to have its problems close to a repair location. Mine died on me when I was 60 miles from home, but right across from a gas station...and an Autozone about 1 mile away. Also died once on the way home, but restarted once I pushed it UP to the top of the hill.

Could have been a much more troublesome weekend.
