Day 78: September 21, 2024 - Rest Day

Stephen Shaw of Trek Bicycles told me that my rear tire was showing enough wear that it would be wise to install a new tire. It’s so much easier to do that on a rest day than out on the road, so I installed the tire I had been carrying on the bottom of the rear rack. The used tire is not completely worn out, so I folded it, put it in the bag in which the new tire had been, and attached it to the bottom of the rack.

I noticed that the pump was working well, so I think the replacement of the O-ring I did the previous day eliminated the trouble I had been experiencing.

Following breakfast at the Bluegrass Grill (at lunch time), I reconciled the bank account of the Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation.

After a short nap I walked through the neighborhood and saw the Chattanooga Choo-Choo.

I had dinner at Ernest Chinese.

It was a much needed restful day.
