The first day’s ride has a remote start in Comfort. Although I’ve cycled in this area for 30 years I’d never been on most of these roads. Here is the route. It was a pretty and pleasant route, although a bit of a challenge for Brenda and me because of mechanical problems.
On Wednesday our gears occasionally “skipped” or “jumped”. On Thursday it was really bad so after the ride we took it to Adam at Hill Country Cycle Works. Adam replaced the chain but today we very quickly determined the problem was not fixed. I noticed that this appeared to occur only when the chain was on the middle chain-ring and sure enough it appears the teeth on this gear are worn. For today’s ride we avoided using the middle chain-ring which of course is the one we use the most. We’re going to attempt to replace it this afternoon. Thanks to Mike Mahoney for the loan of tools and for his considerable mechanical expertise. ‘Just hope it works in the morning!.
We have stopped many times in front of the Waring General Store but I don’t think I’ve ever been inside. Today we took a look and was surprised to learn it was big enough to include a dance hall.
