Hitching A Ride To A Bike Shop

Fargo, ND - Late in morning we crossed into Wisconsin and entered the sparse wilderness of the Chequamegon National Forest. As we cycled through the forest, Mary broke a spoke broke her rear wheel and this caused the wheel to become warped. Although this made her bike nearly unride-able, we decided to continue at a slower pace for the next 12 miles so we could make it to the next town of Phelps, Wisconsin (Population-103 People).

In Phelps we were very fortunate when Scott Patterson graciously offered to drive us to the nearest bike shop, located 15 miles south in Eagle River, Wisconsin, where we could get Mary's wheel repaired the next day.

We Thank Today's Fans For Life:
Dave Hurd & Family - Let us pitch our tents at their lake house on Long Lake and shared an incredible cook-out meal with us with plenty of hamburgers, french fries, baked potatoes and more to go around.
