Aug 8 - on the move

I was on the move, doing a "regular" bike ride.  Didn't feel good but muddled through !  Before that, I worked on rebuilding my generator front wheel, with the new rim.  I still have some final touches before using it on the road. 

Our pre-ride was on the move as well, starting out at 4am.  They encountered a couple of spots where rerouting was necessary due to construction -- good thing that we're doing this !  It was a long day; they got into Midland close to midnight.  They stopped a lot though with Dick and Peter driving.  We'll know better next week when Dick, Jerry and I do the ride as to typical times.  I'm a bit worried about the length of the day.  The good news is that it's the hardest; gets easier from that point onwards -- 400+300+300+200, all kms of course, being the daily distances.

I talked to Dick on and off during the day.  This is actually working out quite well, being able to road-test everything including the motels.

Dinner -- sausages, garden beans, quinoa & rice mixture.  Good !

Today -- finish wheel; Roads Board meeting; dinner at my Aunt Ruth's with that gang.

Onward !
