Day 5 July 27 Wednesday.
Camp at Hirata Forest Park.
Good weather
Now my story.
1. Spokes are bent
2. A camper offered to take my tire to the bike shop
3. Bought breakfast while waiting for the shop to open
4. He said new rim and change that tire.
Cost a bit but l feel safe now.
He said your tires are wrong , l knew that
Told him l will be back
Camper took me back
Front tire and new rim, perfect fit.
I offered money to the camper, He left.
Now i got a 3 hour bike ride to the shop to get the right tire.
Strong head winds over Lake Shinji
Shop guy examined bike
Came back with right tire { I have right tube? l show him
He brought back new break pads and smiled
