Towanda to Wellsboro

6/18/2007

The ride to Wellsboro was a nice 60 miles of a few hills, farmland, and a brutal headwind. The wind was a bit of a reality check of how the Midwest is going to be with the flat land but strong winds. The ride was still very pleasant. Here’s one of the many nice views.

My bike has been acting up a bit lately with some rear derailleur problems, and fortunately the local bike shop was willing to check the bikes out for free. They spent about 45 minutes on my bike and concluded that the problem was a “warranty issue” and needed a replacement part that they did not have, so unfortunately my bike didn’t get fixed. Nevertheless, the guys at the bike shop were really nice and worked with me even after the bike shop was closed.
