40.8 miles
The rain has finally stopped!!!
Spent the night with Dick & Kathy LaForge from warmshowers.com. Had a warm, dry bed. It's the first time I've actually slept in a bed in two weeks.
Dick was checking out my bike, and noticed that the rear spokes were a bit loose. I didn't think it was an issue, since I paid top $$ to have the wheels hand-built, but when I checked them later I realized Dick was absolutely right. I stopped at a great bike-shop in Eureka, and the mechanic took a look at the wheel. Turns out I must have hit something or came off a tall curb, 'cause there is a slight flat spot on the rim, which was causing the spokes to loosen. They were able to tighten it up and get it true. Should last the rest of the trip, but I need to keep an eye on it. A bit disappointing, considering what I paid for the wheels. I'll have Vecchio's look at it when I get back to Boulder--they guarantee their work for life. Not a big deal, but it held me up for a few hours.
