We did a rest day today - no pedaling at all. This is the first rest day we've had since North Woodstock, NH. We took the opportunity to gather some items that we've not been using on the trip to ship back home - a pair of glasses each, clothing, some straps, towel and Jake sent home his spare folding tire. In total we probably shed 5-6 pounds of 'things'.
The post office was tucked away inside a building called the Arcade. It was and old train-station looking, very interesting early 20th century architecture type building and completely empty of people. It cost $42 to ship our stuff home.
We also had a few celebrity visitors that met up with us for lunch and a smoothie. Pictured below you will see Jake and I along with my best-friend-in-the-world-who-I-talk-to-about-once-every-7years... JT Harris and is son Bryce. I have few talents, but one of my best is choosing great friends!
Jake and I are also exploring the barbecue and local craft beers - trying to load some proteins and carbs before we get back on the trail tomorrow morning.
Also, I called a bike shop on the route out of town called Beat https://www.beatcycles.com/ cycles and a guy named Ryan is helping me out - ordered 2 new tires (schwalbe marathon) because I'm tired of rear flats. Anyway, our first stop tomorrow will be getting some new tires installed!
Aside from the above, Jake and I are refreshing our laundry and watching NBA!
Jake looks super psyched about his meal in front of him. Cam couldn’t wait. ;-).

ReplyDeleteCameron, I grew up in Cleveland. Jeff and I got our wedding rings from a jeweler in the Arcade. I love that old building. I'm just now catching up on reading. Your adventure has been amazing. Safe travels!
