"Bike Repairs"

Wildflowers by the side of the road

On my rest day, I rode down to Larry's Bicycle Shop to have my wheel rebuilt, new pedals put on, and new handlebar tape installed. While waiting, I bought a shirt for $6 at a discount store (to replace the one I left behind in a motel room), bought some film, found an ATM machine, and did some other errands.

I wished I were riding instead. I guess I'm not burned out yet!

There's a steak house with a great buffet right next to the Comfort Inn in Kingsport where I am staying. I ate there three times. My glycogen levels should be well topped up for tomorrow.
