Monday 28 April
Sitting in rocking chair in fabulous RV park that loves cyclists, on lovely evening in Wickenburg AZ. The last few days have been great: across the Apache Reservation (although got caught in foul storm when temperature dropped to 50 F in heavy rain and strong winds - but it snowed at Flagstaff, so mustn't grumble, and didn't a tornado kill someone in Little Rock,Mark P?). Then great route through mountains and back down to desert floor at Phoenix. Phoenix interesting (epic university campus, for anyone considering Master's for themselves or children......), and on towards California. Even passed 'Los Angeles 348' sign.....
However, just to throw spanner in, spoke has ripped clean out of rear rim, distorting wheel. Have balanced it as best I can, but if rim begins to collapse then I fear game over, as 27 x 1 1/4 replacement definitely unavailable! Watch this space, as I will be watching wheel every minute. Curses!
No PC for photos, but (wheel permitting) California Wednesday a.m.
Roops, dreadful twister in Little Rock, Pip well. Sorry to hear of your gear failure, fingers crossed it hangs in there.
