Our "rest" day got off to a doozy start, with Craig (best host ever) waking us up at 1am to report that our bikes needed to be moved inside from the garage stat, as the next door neigbours were being burgled (no joke!). The back lane was crawling with undercover policemen as the little criminals stole away under cover of midnight. They had made off with an adirondack chair from the porch next door. There were no other casualties.
Managed to get back to sleep and in the morning, we wondered if it had all been a dream. It hadn't.
Not much else to report here today. Rode into town to stock up at M.E.C., and brought our un-pilfered bikes to Olympia Cycle and Ski on Portage Avenue to be tuned up. Had another delicious dinner with Craig and Dorothy, and then off to bed.
Stats:
Bikes saved in the nick of time by Craig Batty: 2
Adirondack chairs sacrificed in the name of the bikes: 1
Adirondack chairs returned by police later: 1
Pat barely woke up to take in the bikes. Me with a bad back and recent knee surgery had to carry a bike down the basement stairs. And talk to the cops.
