My plan for the day was to drop off my bike at TLC Bikes and then head into town and check out the North Carolina Museum of Art and their Porsche exhibit. On my way to the bike shop I got a flat tire which was really annoying but didn’t really set me back. I picked up a couple more tubes and a patch kit to be safe. Gary at TLC did a great job tuning up my bike and now everything works as it should. Thank god my derailleur works properly now. I can’t thank him enough for the quick turnaround.

After I dropped my bike I hung out at Jubala Village Coffee again and had too much espresso, coffee, and biscuits. My god that place is amazing. Here’s them making me a fresh cup of coffee,

Anyway, I eventually made it to the museum and it was really cool. Here are a few of the cars.

There was also a really cool sculpture garden there and the art museum was nice too.

I eventually made it back from the museum to pick up my bike but was running out of daylight. I had to hustle to beat the darkness so I ended up getting a bit of a workout in on my “rest” day. Oh well.

Tally for the day was about 30 miles and now I’m hanging out in South Raleigh with a very nice lady currently picking me up Chinese food.

Tomorrow I head to Fayetteville which will probably be a little over 70 miles and will stay in some crap hotel.
