A Christmas present to ourselves...a new rear wheel! This will be the third rear rim for our bike. First one bent when we must have run over something. I noticed cracks at the spokes the last time I changed a tire on the second one. This time we got a Phil Wood, 48 spoke, tandem hub with a Chukker Velocity rim from Peter White Cycles. It's soooo pretty and hopefully bullet proof. Have to start riding more for we are planning this summer's trip. San Francisco to San Diego which will be the last leg of our Pacific Coast tour. We have already done the Santa Barbra to Oceanside part. That was our first tour and we did it by credit card (no camping and eating out every meal). Not possible since we don't have credit cards anymore and we like the camping with other cyclists too much. SF to SB would be just too short and we did not ride to the Mexican boarder last time. This time we will.
good luck with the last leg guys - stop and have a tasty burrito in the river at big sur, well worth it!
