I am excited to be so close to the finish but am having a hard time making sure I don't push myself too hard and exhaust all the energy I need to be able to finish strong. Today I had to remind myself to slow down and not get stressed that I couldn't make it further than I did. I am still on schedule to finish before labor day, even with today's shorter ride.
While in the DC area I received a handlebar bag I had ordered. I was able to switch that out and rotate my tires, making my bike ready for the final stretch. My pedals are on the way out and while in Delaware I had one repacked, though the bushing is pretty worn still. I'm hoping they will last till the end of the trip. Everything else seems to be holding out and working good, for the most part.

What pedals and shoes are you riding with?
Your almost there Josh - woo-hoo! May you continue to have safe riding. I had to keep reminding myself on my tour that it wasn't a race and I'd still get up that hill if I just slowed down a bit. It really is a mind game sometimes.
Keep it up fella. Very impressed!
riding with shimano spd's with clipless on one side and flats on the other. Holding up pretty well considering they have 15,000 miles on them!
