Monday 24th June 2919, Amarillo.
Well I’ve found the way to Amarillo.
A shortish ride through some flat, uninteresting Texan countryside.
I’ve found a bike shop that should be able to fix my leaking hydraulic brake tomorrow.
A couple of days ago I noticed that the rear tyre has worn badly after 1,500 miles. So this afternoon, on arrival, I swapped the front and rear tyres. Then a few minutes later when I tried to set off to do some sightseeing I discovered that the front tyre was flat! Such is life.
Rest day in Amarillo tomorrow.
I’ve thought long and hard about this and don’t think I can manage it even with all the cycling.
In my prime, 40 years ago, I think I would have polished it off.
