I set off to make Lima. \u00a0 The wind and the weather looked favorable. \u00a0I grabbed what I could from the “complimentary” breakfast room and set off.<\/p>\n

\u200eHere are a few email accounts to Ann along the way.<\/p>\n

1pm: \u00a0“Am in Dillon now. I arrived before 1 -about on time. I had good winds – northwest.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is 50 miles from Dillon to Lima. I think it will be a lot tougher. The winds are changing to over 30km\/hr from the west. If I manage 10 miles an hour – which is reasonable but not guaranteed I will be there by 6 or 7 depending on how long lunch is.”<\/em><\/p>\n

7pm “Well I made Lima by about 7pm (mountain time)\u200e. It was kind of a strange day. When I left Dillon about 1:45 the highway points southwest. It couldn’t have been more directly into the wind. The highway continues along the same direction for about 25 miles until the Clark Canyon Reservoir. Unfortunately I discovered I had a slow flat about 3 miles short of the reservoir. Long story – I put on the inner tube that I thought I fixed at the Lost L<\/em>lama Lodge and it leaked worse that the one that had gone flat. \u00a0 I decided to nurse the slow flat – filling it about once per hour. The whole thing took about an hour. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The funny thing is that when I got it all back together and on my bike ~ 4:30pm the wind was coming from the North. \u00a0 So I made pretty good time after that all the way into Lima. Yay! 113 miles.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I had a good supper at a cafe in Lima and rented a cabin behind the cafe for the night. I could have pitched my tent across the road for a whole lot less but I was determined to find all the leaks in my inner tubes with good light and a sink. In retrospect it is a very expensive way to find leaks.<\/p>\n

So I set to work. By 11pm I hit the sack satisfied I had done my best to find and fix 5 leaks in two inner tubes. \u00a0 This is not promising! (I only had two flats in my Marathon Mondials when I went across Canada.\u00a0\u00a0I’d check the pressure in the morning to see the result.<\/p>\n
