Canada to Mexico, Day 12:
Canada to Mexico, Day 12:
We rode 56 miles to Gold Beach (610 miles total). The bad news is that we had
our first mechanical issue. I was having problems with a couple of my gears and
Pat had a broken spoke, so we had to take care of those things. We needed to
wait for the local bike shop to open at 10:00 and then we had to wait for
everything to be fixed. So we didn't leave until 12:20, which is way later than
what we usually do. As a result, we arrived really late today. Dead tired, of
course! The good news is that at the bike injuries could have been worse and at
least there are no human injuries and that's the most important thing! Summary
of the day: bike problems are bad; bike shops, friendly bike mechanics, wine,
and safety are good!
