Day 4: Out & About in Silver City

The last post was pretty much about repair, but I had a good Father’s day in Silver City.

A few calls to bike shops in the A.M. All closed. I walked into town for some breakfast, and to see if I could find anybody at a shop on their day off.

Breakfast was at Roxy’s – solid diner food: French Toast + huevos rancheros (I was hungry!). Met Shawn from day 3 and had another great chat.

By 11 I really wanted a hat, so stolled around looking for one in-between bike shops. Found this place – I thought they were all gone:

Army Navy stores still exist!

Sadly, all the hats were tiny.

No dice on bike shops, so on to plan B. Syringe & Baby Oil (see the repair post if you’re curious). Had to hike to Walmart to get the 20ml oral syringe. Picked up some snack & camping food. The Sonic Burger for a milkshake & burger.

Back to the motel 6 for some more rest, start again for beaverhead tomorrow. It’s supposed to be a very long climb
