Woke up real early and biked to Monte Video, a very wonderful town. Your following the road and turn a corner and go down into this little Italian like city. Freewheel decided to stop being free, had to replace the entire wheel. Though this was made light because of a wonderful little farm stand and a loaf of banana bread and blueberry jelly.
We biked until our limbs were sore and our bodies weary. Trying to outrun the rain. Eventually it overcame us and we were forced to make camp behind a dirt pile.
It rained on and off all morning, packing was hard. Biked hoping to find a diner an hour and a half ride away. Closed.Sundays. Biked some more in the downpour. Found out my rain coat is a wind breaker. Eventually stopped at a bar for fried mushrooms. Not the healthiest but the only vegetarian option. Biked and biked, past threw Watertown, the worst city in the world. No shoulder and no sidewalks. Ate lunch by a river, walked out of town. No sidewalks. Stupid cars.
We biked another 30 miles and stopped in Clark. Made camp in a 4-h fairgrounds. Absolutely beautiful.
