Day 8
I must really be thankful to Rod's Bike Shop he did a great job on the shifter and rack last night. Then while trying to adjust the seat we found the post broken allowing the seat to rotate a little. So this morning after breakfast at the Copper Lantern (rise sausage is a must have there) we stopped back at the shop and Rod replaced the post. Rod's is the place to go for bike repair in St. Cloud. Now I find that I have gears I forgotten I had and bike so smooth on the butt, it is easier to ride and more comfortable when the seat is not wriggling all over place. Dave even suggested that I was changing gears just for the joy of it today. Dave is still giving me the gears about the gears. Rod you did a good job.
We did a short ride into Monticello only 36 miles in record time of 3.5 hours. We then stopped at an antique mall as Dave could not pass it up (my thought) or for directions which is Dave's position. Lunch came next at the corner cafe as suggested by the antique dealer. This was a local spot which served good food, with friendly staff but did require a tie, a suit coat or dress shoes.
We then we found the local RV camp and set up camp and modified the front rack on Dave's bike. The other RV people stopped by and visited all really nice people. One working up here from Texas and the other a local working at the nuclear power plant near by. They asked if we had a heater for the tent and we just laughed. Saw a Great Danae called chief and that made thing of Annie Dog and I miss her but we did not see any cows to yell at for her today.
With the gears working I actually had the bike over 28MPH so without cow I just yelled WAHOOOO, Dave thinks I am nuts but I know I am nuts so it is OK. Yesterday was a little strange as most of the cars passing us were pick up trucks today they were more regular cars. I just hoping they did not a let your 12 drive a pickup day, just like the hunting last weekend.
Road was clean and there was no weird stuff on the side of the road. A little gravel but Dave insists I was so surprised to learn about gears on the bike I did not swear very much.
Thankful for today
Rod great job should get another call out but I promised to think of new stuff each day. Talked to folks and they are doing well so I glad about that too as with all family members. But most of all I feel I should be grateful for a sunny day with no head winds and temperatures above 60F a small thing but thanks god it had to happen some time.
Love and Kisses to all and to all a good night. Lets hope it stays warm.
Allan and Dave.
