Leaving Columbus.
12:06 PM
I stopped in the town of Galloway to get something to eat and drink. I didn’t have breakfast this morning, I thought I’d stop on the way. This is my first opportunity. Just before I go into my lunch stop. I hear a little pssst from my front tire it is a puncture just a small one. I rolled the puncture to the bottom to press it against the road. This sealed it instantly and I’m good to go.
3:29 PM
I am at the Prairie Grass Trail Head.
The Gibbons family ride into the trail head. A husband, wife and three young kids. They are riding 40 miles today. The oldest daughter’s bike was having trouble with the shifting. It was making noise so the bike is on the repair stand. I offered to help the derailleur is bent a little bit so we straighten it and then readjusted the cables. It shifting fine. We are now having a nice visit.
4:00 PM
Jim, who volunteers for the FMCPT, welcomes me and we visit. He is now following the blog.
I am now showered and finished dinner. There is a nice cool breeze. The tent is under the pavilion without the rain fly. The birds are singing. I should sleep well tonight.
