Soooo. We peaced out of America today. Holy poop, I've (we've) made it to the other side of the country. Tomorrow there is 12 more miles to ride before its all over and the 4,000 mile journey across the states has come to an end.
Again....THANK YOU TO ALL MY SPONSORS AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO READ MY BLOG AND SUPPORTED ME ALONG THE WAY!
Story of today.
Who didn't get lost today? I have no idea.
Kristen, Derek and I ended up confused and in Vancouver early...as in we rode a minimum of 12 extra miles. Shoot. Our cue sheet wanted us to go on a 3 lane highway and when we started to go that way, we panicked, got off of it immediately because we thought it was wrong and headed back in another direction.
It rained ALLL day which was a serious bummer since many of us had cleaned our bikes the day prior. The morning part of the ride was all hills and the second half was all fast traffic. To top it all off, my back brakes ceased working so there was (and still is) no way for me to use the rear ones currently and since it is still raining I have yet to look at them to see what can be done.
At this point with 12 more miles to go perhaps the best thing to do is to ignore the fact that they don't work all together and just have them fixed when I get home (Claremont Cycle Depot, you may have some work ahead of you...) :)
