I received most of my tools yesterday. Got them hung and rearranged my board a bit. I was just waiting on my truing stand to be the final piece for now. I did get the stand but there is one problem. the wonderful Park Tool company sent me an incomplete box. Two of the three control knobs are missing...
Well I thought that I was set with the toolboard until my big tool order arrived but I got a little antsy about it and said ta hell with it and decided to hang the board with the tools that I have and just add as they arrive.

Finally had some time today after work to get to work on my new tool board. This board has to have a couple of capabilities. It must be large enough to hold all the bike tools I'll mostly use.

Root beer float: consumed
Century Riders had to do 12 more miles before lunch. Glad I had cookies at the winery.
Lunch is said to be at 64 miles. Why so close?
No cow at this stop this year. Each stop has had live music.
At 4PM, uniformed Isuzu employees are outside their factory in Shonandai picking up trash. It reminds me of David’s People’s Republic post two years ago. It’s a real joy to ride on the riverside cycle path that connects Fujisawa with points north. It’s well paved, and, apart from cyclists,...
Wind from the east is brutal.
