\"day11_01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cozy cabins at the KOA allowed us to finally dry everything out and sleep out of the rain for a night.<\/p>\n

What a GREAT surprise when Mike P. (aka \u2018Evil Mike\u2019), from our 2017 Northern Tier ride, showed up at 8:30am with donuts and coffee for the whole gang. Mike, Anne, Hugh, Denise and I were all on the ride from Anacortes, WA to Bar Harbor MA. Great to catch up and find out what was new in everyone\u2019s lives since that great crossing.<\/p>\n

We miss you Wade. Keep riding that BMW!!!<\/p>\n

\"day11_03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was the first in yesterday and after stopping at the \u2018Ranger Station\u2019 to get the wristbands, maps and keys for our luxury camping cabins, while biking the 1\/2 mile to our cabins my chain\/hub broke locked up and the wheel would not turn (see the chain hanging in photo above). I carried the bike the rest of the way to the campsite and took a closer look. After removing the chain, the wheel would still not turn. Ryan arrived about a half hour later. I took off the wheel and we headed to town\u00a0 . . .<\/p>\n

. . .\u00a0 where Scott, owner of Bike and Beyond after a quick diagnosis began exploratory surgery on Connie\u2019s rear hoof.<\/p>\n

\"day11_05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After removing nearly all the bushings,\u00a0 washers, spacers and packing, the hub would still not turn. I guess after 10\u2019s of thousands of miles on the hub, it just disintegrated. Luckily he had a replacement wheel, a new state of the art Mavic on which he installed my cassette and tire. I brought the rest of the bike in today, he put it all together and I was back on the road!!!<\/p>\n

Today we said goodbye to our Swiss biking companion, Olivier, who is heading back to Geneva. His Brompton bike is probably geared too high for a trip like this and he pulled muscles in his leg. A visit to the doctor resulted in a suggestion not to bike for two weeks. Safe trip home, Oliver!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
