Friday afternoon - Not the end of the world

We went back to ajs bike shop to find our bikes all fixed in, here's the list of repairs....

Jack - new front brake calipers, gear tune up, new chain

Tom - new chain, new spokes, lubes up, gears tuned, brakes sorted, tyres swapped

Ben - whole new drive train and crank shaft

so hopefully that will get us thru the last thousand miles. tom also got somemore cream for his bum aptly named 'assmaster'. Also a big thanks to the guys in the bike shop for sorting us out so quickly, much appreciated!

Back onto hway 34 we slowly finished off the last twenty or so miles passing some great anti abortion, our favourite being 'smile, your mum chose life', great! We found j and js campsite which was our final stop for a night and it was quite a rustic place to say the least! It's best feature was the wall of unused hats in the rec room.

After pitching our tent we headed across the road to a sports bar for some food. We sat there in a bar on a Friday night with our glasses of coke, torches in our pockets and maps strewn out on the table while live music was playing in the background and everyone bar us was getting drunk.....living the dream ha!

Less than a thousand miles left though.....

  1. Lookin good guys! It's all down hill from there (ok not REALLY). At least the primed up bikes should hopfully make things roll smoother...
