Oopsie
mile 7330
Poor thing. She was so exhausted that she plopped right down when we got to the pump. Ah well, I'll let her sleep for a few minutes.
Actually, it might have had something to do with me not putting the kick stand down all the way when I stopped and leaned the bike over - it just kept leaning. Took me several minutes to decide what to do, but I was able to just pull it up with brute force (brute that I am) after removing the bags. Fortunately, nothing was really damaged. Except my pride.
Anyway, I'm now in Lyons, CO, just north of Boulder, staying with my old college friend Allison (who hasn't aged a day in nine years) and her husband Ben. Lyons is a really cool little town that sits in the middle of some pretty amazing Colorado scenery. Unfortunately, my chain problem has gotten much worse and may cause yet another bike repair delay. I'm going to consult a shop tomorrow morning for the verdict.
