11/29/2007 Lake Charles-Go Ron Paul!

Category: Stops

Pretty easy ride today, had to grab a lift over an 1-10 bridge, then got on LA - 90. Problem was my crank was still acting up under load, the shop in Beaumont had not caught it and it was making some ugly sounds. Once in Lake Charles a “born and raised for generations” supporter came to bring me to a bike shop where the manager was amazed that I had rode the bike for that many miles. He said, “This bike… its’ light duty… its’ not designed for… You’ve riddedn this for 2000 miles??? and are going another 1500??? Ya know, this is a light duty bike…” - LOL He agreed to a rasonable price and installed a bearing set that, “Is built for this kine stuff and will last the rest of the way” Said, it wouln’t have lasted another hundred miles, I’m glad it was fixed…
