Day: June 30, 2006

Yesterday we climbed another 4000ft pass. Unfortunately, our screaming 20 mile descent was interrupted by construction.Our brake-clenching steep ride through loose gravel got worse when a rock in megans chain broke her bike.Then i got our 1st flat!We got into town just in time to watch the mill burn.We’re waiting for the bike shop to open

We realize the last update sounded a bit cataclysmic – not to fear! The fine mechanic at the aptly-named ‘The Bike Shop’ patched up Megans ride and sent us back on our way. However, we got a late start, and it’s too late and too hot to start the next ascent to 4300 ft, so we’re dropping anchor early… We’re sleeping at an ice cream parlor!
