Thanks to everyone involved in this “rescue” – you kept us going.
Upon hearing of our situation, owner Ryan and service manager Lukas seemingly dropped everything to find a solution, ultimately arranging to have a brand new wheel shipped to us overnight from Specialized Bicycles. However, once we got cellular service we called our friends at Red Rock Bicycles in St. In very remote Colorado, what could we do? Options seemed limited. Just after entering Colorado a few weeks ago on very rugged trails, one of our wheels began breaking spokes and became unreliable. That broken wheel, which came close to ending our trip, is a great story of luck and incredible customer service. We have been fortunate that we have had good health (other than ailing knees and saddle sores), good weather (other than afternoon thunderstorms), and reliable bikes (other than a broken rear wheel). The journey has been much more difficult than we expected but we are still confident that we can bike another 1,000 miles to reach Roosville, Mont., our border crossing into Canada, later this summer. Yesterday we arrived in Jackson, Wyo., exactly 1,500 miles of mountain biking since leaving the Mexico border 30 days ago. This is just one more indication that we’re making progress – getting further north and to higher elevations. While everyone else is experiencing record heat and warm temperatures it is just the opposite for us – 48 degrees this morning. | Photo by Craig Shanklin, courtesy of Craig and Diana Shanklin
