Fri

Tim again. It's 4:00 and we are at the Peoples' residence (That's really their names Peoples') in Newark DE. They have been nice enough to house us tonight.

We rode 42.6 miles at a casual pace of 12.8. We only got lost a little. When we came upon a bar, we saw Rick's van but he was no where in sight.  He said he was asking for directions???? God kept us on track and safe. Nathan did however take a tumble around a turn on Black Snack Road, cool road. Going a bit too fast. He bent his rear wheel slightly and scraped up his ankle. Just before this I broke a spoke which put a significant wobble in my rear wheel. Luckilly this was near the end of the ride. Pastor Les Cool met us with us and led us to Bike Line bike shop (they were great). We were quite a site in there with all of us wearing our jerseys. They straightened out Nathan's wheel for free. They were going to replace a spoke on my wheel for free but pointed out that I was almost certain to break more spokes before the end of the ride. The wheel was shot. another spoke broke while truing the wheel. Therefore I bit on a good deal on a slightly used rear wheel. Honey.... I'll discuss the price with you later.
