Rocky and I had a nice ride to Starbucks this morning and were rewarded by a Cold Brew and a visit from the ladies 🙂
We loaded up most of our panniers so that we could get some idea of cycling with the extra weight. Not to mention, every ride we can get in before we go will help acclimate our derrières to our saddles and give us a chance to work out any bugs in our bikes.
During the ride to Starbucks and back (11.2 miles) we found we both had trouble with slipping gears. So it’s back to Sea Sports this afternoon for an adjustment. I’ve learned how to do it myself, but they’re a bit faster and Jeff, the owner, called and said he had some vests he wants to give us. Those guys have been really great all along the way with discounts and overall kindness. I think they’re as excited as we are about this trip!
Until next time… 🙂
