Penonome to La Chorrera

Cycling from Alaska to Argentina Travelogue - April 2010 Travelogue

Although I had every intention of cutting the day off at 70 kms, the accommodation prospects did not really allow for that, so I pushed on instead.

Can someone please call this number and work out what is going on !!

I passed by a nice display of industrial art. I particularly liked the huge Penny Farthing - If it ever becomes available in pink, I am getting one !!

I eventually ended up some 120 kms from my start point at the slightly grubby city of La Chorrera. It was another big day, but at least I didn't feel as though I had just had the shit kicked out of me, like I did on the previous two cycling days.

The rear wheel had a slow puncture again, and as it already had eleven patches on the inner tube, I deemed it time to use one of the nine (yes, nine) other inner tubes I am carrying.

I got an early night, with the plan that I would get a nice early start in order to cycle into Panama City before nine.

Slow punctures = misery

Carrying spare inner tubes = happiness

Best wishes for your onward journey.

Hey, my wife called the number and arranged a swap, I'm now on my way to Panama!!! Hope you don't get any more punctures, I can imagine what state the roads are in. Good luck.

hehe, renting a husband sounds like a great deal! Very easy to get rid of them or exchange them for a new one when they get boring

I expect the delivery cost to ship them all the way from Panama would be a bit steep, though...

And couldn't you just repaint any colour into a pink one? Or rent yourself a husband who paints it for you

Here in NZ they have a franchise called hire a hubby - they come and mow your lawn, fix your fences, etc. Maybe it is like that?

Enjoying your trip online, looking to do something similar one day!
