Wilmington, North Carolina!!! :)

Rode another good distance today, thankfully! :) The day started out without a rear tire full of air. I patched a tube with a couple of punctures in it, but the tube had more holes so it seemed better to use a new tube. I've been having trouble getting the current tire on and off, which turns out to be some kind of rim problem. There was a bike shop nearby, so I went in. They kindly helped me get the thing going again, and now it rolls well, although next time I get a flat I expect it'll be difficult to get the tire on and off again. Ah well, at least it's now full of air! :)
Got in to Wilmington… It's a town that's got some pretty areas. Tough riding, though… On the way into town, no bike lane, no bike path, no shoulder, no sidewalk, no nothing…. And lots of dangerous drivers. Glad to have made it!

By the way, for a long time I would ride on highways that split into e.g. "17" and "BUS 17". For most of that time I thought it was a bus route to avoid, until fairly recently figuring out that it's the business route.
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
