Day 14 Crescent City

Canada to Mexico, Day 14: 

We were stuck in Crescent City for the day :( . The bad news is that Pat's chain needed to be replaced. Since he has a mountain bike, he couldn't take care of it at the bike shop in Bandon. We needed to go to a mountain bike shop, which is in Crescent City. We knew that if we waited for that to be taken care of, we would be leaving late and arriving late again. We had done that two days earlier, and yesterday because of the two flat tires, very steep hills, and really bad headwinds, we were on the bikes for 10 hours and arrived late again. So we were pretty drained yesterday. The good news is that taking the day off was probably a blessing in disguise. My leg was hurting a little, so it gave me a chance to rest and ice it. Plus, Pat got his chain fixed. Also, I was able to catch up on things that I haven't been able to do, like pluck my eyebrows (it's amazing how little things like that give me great pleasure)! Summary of the day: guilt and impatience are bad; sleeping in, ice, rest, reading, naps, plucked eyebrows, having a lunch that consists of something other than candy bars on the side of the road, and wine are good! We'll be back on the road tomorrow!
