Matt and I woke up later than usual today and had to pack up all the gear we were drying out the night before. We then continued to a bike shop to get some more parts for our bikes for we did not know the next time we would see a friendly bike shop. I luckily found a great shop called Petrie's were the kind owner of the store helped me with finding some great Schwalbe tires that were ready to replace the thin looking Kenda tires that were ready to retire. The owner of the store made my day, He was awesome I could really tell that he loved bicycles and people. He made cycling seem desirable again as if it had turned into a desk job for me.
We finally dropped by the grocery store on the way out of town and picked up some pasta for the road. We rode about fifty kilometers out of town and hit a nasty construction site. It looked as if it was a war zone, pot holes, mud, a poor shoulder and semi-trailers screaming by. Then the rain poured and the wind picked up. We rode it out for another thirty kilometers, our attitudes were shifting down after the three O'clock late start. We stopped in for a quick eat at a local motel which took extremely long. I am not trying to blame the server who was in grade four but we were in the middle of now where and I know good food takes time but waiting an hour for perogies is a little long. We were wet and were contemplating finishing the ride to Marathon which was only another hour ride then the torrential downpour started and we decided to get had at a small motel in an area where you can buy a piece of property for five thousand dollars.
