Sunday night
Wow!!! What a beautiful day!!! The rain did not deter my leaving, just delayed it for an hour. Except for my front derailer having a problem (which has been my achilles heel for the past 3 months, the bike shop has tuned it up 3 times!!) which i eventually patched (hopefully fixed), the entire day went extremely smooth. Not one person yelled at me or tried to run me off the road. This has to be a World record!! Only had 3 encounters with dogs, one of which only wanted to race me and boy was he/she fast! Almost hit him with my front tire though, that would not have been good for either one of us ( I would have done an endover, another bike term.)
Total of 99.46 miles.
Bike store which is a block away is closed on sun and mon so i hope my patch went well.
Nags Head tomorrow.
Time for bed...Night all.

  2. Hi Dr. Adam,

    I am totally amazed that you want to do this .. no, I'm not asking if your car is broken.:)

    Have you ever thought of throwing treats at these dogs ... on the other hand they might come for more ... ;)

    Good luck for your ride, ivonne
