DAY
4

To start with I rode 22.9 miles in the morning. I blew out another spoke about 15 miles from Lompoc, CA which meant that it was time to get new wheels. Once a spoke goes on a wheel like I had it is very unstable. So, it was a slow carefull ride to Lompoc.

I got into Lompoc about 10am and asked around about a bike shop. After a few trys I found a great one. Bicycles Unlimited on North “H” Street. The guys there really fixed me up good. I got some killer new wheels, and a new cluster for the back. They also tuned the bike a little. They really took care of me. If you find yourself in Lompoc in need of bicycle parts that is the place to go.

So, I got a room and srarted eating and sleeping while they fixed the bike. I had roast beef and mashed potatos for lunch and fish and chips at Alfee’s a good combo of protien and carbs. I never thought of fish and chips while planning this trip.
