We’ve been on the road over three weeks and not had a bike problem, other than my mysterious missing brake pad. But our luck changed today. today. Before leaving the hotel today I pumped up the tires. When I removed the pump head from my rear time, the valve stem broke. So I had to replace the tube.
Then, 12 km down the road, I was following Brenda and watched her chain slither off the cassette and down the road. Fortunately I had spare master links (It was the master link which had come apart.)
Our luck, weather wise, is better. It rained last night and it rained about 3:30 today but we were inside the hotel both times. Only one more day; hope to keep a perfect weather track record.
Today’s ride is from Arcos de la Frontera to Vejer de la Frontera. The main point of interest along the way is the city of Medina Sidonia, which dates to both Roman and Arab times. Of course it sits on top of a hill, providing the second of our three climbs today. After Medina, we had mile after mile of wild flowers.
