Denver

I headed to underground which required carrying the bike box and gear three blocks and not setting it down in the water as it was rain hard.  No problems with taking the bike on the underground.  At the airport the bike and gear weigh out at 53.1 kg or 116.8 lb.  Back in Denver US Custom pulled me over searching all my gear by hand.  They only found one wine bottle out of three that I did not declare.  I am glad I did not do my laundry at Aine’s.  Last adventure was me getting off at the wrong bus stop to meet my ride up the mountain.   This just required me hoping another bus to the main terminal a good bit late.

Bayswater

It was a days of threes.  I biked over to Baywater to find a hostel.  Third hostel had a room.  Then the third bike shop had a bike box for me.  Tour the Science museum and found how the British tried to shoot down the Russian Sputnik.  Taking apart the bike one of the peddles would not come off.  I ended up carrying the bike frame three blocks to the hardware store to buy a wrench which would work as mine bent.  `1`

I headed south towards London through a few hills.  Following bike routes I found along the way.  Hostel in Harlow was booked to a group so I pushed on to Chesthunt and found a open hostel.

Cambridge

No running with fish and no sticky fish

Great sunrise as I headed on to the Fins.  Cathedral at King’s Lynn has a bit of the water problem over the years.   After a quick tour of King’s Lynn, I headed for Cambridge on a train.   Nice ride around Cambridge in the rain.  I found a nice campground outside of town.
