Tuesday September 1, St. John's NL

Rode out to the mall - dollar store for tape and duffel bag. Somebody could make a lot of money putting those stores closer to town. Got what i needed including a new watch without too much trouble. It's funny, store clerks are quick to recommend other stores to satisfy you instead of pushing you to buy what they have. Put the bike in the box but not until taking just about everything off it. I began thinking wheels and handlebars but it also included chainrings, 3 racks, 2 fenders, seat, derailleur, quick release mechanisms and pedals. Did the work on the sidewalk with a neighbour and then with a guy (Sebastian) from Sherbrook who rode from Anchorage!! to here. We are both finished and ready to celebrate.
