Today I rode 68 miles. Stayed in a place called Almost Paradise. Room was expensive, but it was nice.  The rooms won’t get cheap until I get out of the resort area.  This morning it was both rainy and sunny.  All the days so far have been both rain and sun.  It does not get warm out until the sun shows.  The average temp is around 65 or 18 deg c during the day.
Had some more bike trouble today, so back to the bike shop.
My touring bike has around 22000 miles on it.  I think it might be time for a new one after this trip.
Some of those 22000 miles include a trip to the Arctic from Vancouver, plus another trip to WINNIPEG from Florida.  Thats 5000 miles just from these two trips put together.
