I spent most of the evening planning a route, with the radio on. None of this is new, but riding the back roads is new to me.

Late on Thursday I fixed two punctures, and it went differently than expected. Somewhere around 34 km it started to make sense.

Autumn is a funny time for touring by bike. For once, I didn't change anything halfway through cleaning the chain.

Not much to report over the weekend, apart from a wrong turn onto a main road. Some of a smooth, quiet bike is luck, and I'm fine with that.
