Day trips to Brevard? What's missing?

Hello all,

For those of you who head up to the Brevard area, what is missing for you? Meaning, if you're taking a day trip, or even an overnight - what services do you wish were easier to access?

(Cheap and clean) showers? Bike wash? Laundry? Pump track? Tools / workstand? etc. 

Do you ever need access to common parts after the shops close at 6pm? Think chains, cables, brake pads, tires, tubes, etc. 

Any input is appreciated.

I'm glad that this is an environment where you feel free to fail.

I suppose that depends. Doesn't seem like there is the demand.

Quick service and on the spot servicing.
Unless it's a simple fix, the few bike shops don't have a quick turn around.
... i guess then the solution becomes to rent-a-bike  Grin
... Wheel repairs & brakes mainly?
... chains, links, and those tools?
...anything small things that can ruin your weekend.

And for gods sake, stock a real brake bleed kit. Not the pro level $120 one.
