How Do I Get A Loan To Buy A Used Trailor

A Return to Iberia , day 62

Ciudad Real a Toledo, 118km (acumulados 5228km)

Esta mañana, me di cuenta de que había dos problemas con el cambio gear. The cable was broken and I changed it. But the shift mechanism on the handle malfunctions and could not ride well.

I took the bike to a shop where the mechanic was more concerned with its backlog. Vale. I took another workshop where they identified the problem and talk about solutions that could cost upwards of $ 200 or it may take until Monday or Tuesday.

But in this second workshop, there were some amateur cyclists the problem and asked about my trip. One was in charge of trying to fix the mechanism itself and after half an hour and I still got invited for coffee. Well, many thanks to you ( Mbici especially Elborde_ bomber1006 and his friend) did not lose a day of cycling. : D

But thus began the 120km stage at 12. If you throw the rhythm of day 58, reach the 18 - to dusk. Then I went out and stopped throwing only twice, once for lunch. Fortunately, the stage was mostly flat and the weather was perfect. I got to bed and the last light of day. I had no time or energy for a spin. I have to do tomorrow morning before my short stage to Madrid.

This morning, I Realized That There Were Two Problems with the gear shift. Had the broken cable and I changed it. But the shift mechanism on the handlebar also was malfunctioning and I couldn't ride like that.

I took the bike to a repair shop where the mechanic was more concerned with his backlog of work. Fair enough. I took it to another repair shop where they identified the problem and we talked about solutions that could cost upward from 200 euros or could take until Monday or Tuesday.

But in this second repair shop, there were some cyclists-enthusiasts who asked about the problem and about my trip. One took charge of trying to fix the mechanism himself and after half an hour he managed it and even invited me for a coffee. Well, big thanks to you all ( Mbici and especially bomber1006 and his friend Elborde_) I didn't lose even a day of cycling. :D

But consequently I started the 120km stage at 12:00. If I'd run with the same pace as day 58, I'd arrive at 18:00 - at sunset. Thus I left running and stopped only twice, once for lunch. Fortunately, the stage was mostly flat and the weather was perfect. I got to the accommodation with the last light of day. I had no time or energy to walk around. I'll have to do that tomorrow morning before my short stage to Madrid.
