We took our bicycles to the local bike shop (Oregon Bike and Skate) for their tune-up and final delivery preparation (boxing) before shipping next week.
Replace chains. New taillight. Extra spokes. New rear derailleur.
Our mechanic is a wealth of knowledge. He advised that the tires
that I planned on using, after the mountains, on the rough roads of Texas
would probably not fit on my bike. Not enough clearance in the front;
need to find an alternative solution.
After pedaling our tandem bicycle 2,909 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in 2013, we will be duplicating the journey on single bikes this time. This should be easier for Jeff and more challenging for Lisa as she shifts from passenger to driver. Once again, we will be raising funds for Custom Canines Service Dog Academy. The Pedal 4 Paws blog is sponsored by Verizon, who provided the equipment that ensures a reliable internet connection throughout the Southern United States.
Trip Summary
Day 52: 2929 miles completed, 8 states, 7 flat tires, 4 flat mattresses, 40 new friends and Bruce #1, 8 rest days
