Follow this blog from time to time as Sarah and Derek (Rachel and Dena both did 1,000 mile legs of the trip) add updates of their cross-the-country-on-bicycles-tour, starting July 2nd, 2007 in Davis, CA, and ending in Virginia. They will miss their families, friends, home-grown fruits and veggies, worms, bees, and co-op dinners as they embark on this 2-3 month bicycle trip, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity they will surely enjoy!

So three days into the trip, my aluminum chain ring snapped in half as I downshifted a little late starting up a steep hill outside of Cloverdale, CA. That spelled the end of my 28 tooth biopace, and I was a bit worried about all those hills we kept hearing about on the coast. Luckily, I got it replaced with a steel chain ring in Mendocino...Dave at Catch a Canoe (a canoe/bike shop) fixed it in about 1/2 hour and only charged me $28. Seemingly, when you need things they tend to fall out of the sky.
