Yep after two great days of riding out of Pennsylvania into Maryland via the York County Heritage trail mechanical breakdowns including my 2nd & 3rd flats, no shit and a bent rim have had me stuck in Baltimore for 4 days Uggggg run on sentence.... SORRY. My stay in Baltimore has been a run on too. My bent rear rim has turned me into a walker. Had to walk it to the local bike shop to get it mended.
Spent last 3 nights in a Ramada Inn being to clean and rested. O ya and drinking to much. Nothing better to do. At least I can watch cable, by the was fuk Trump. I’ve seen way to much of Baltimore in way greater detail than I would care for. Lots of feral cats, people, prostitutes shady folks ect... Nice weather, so I’m out and about during daylight yet hide in my hotel at night. I could have walked to DC by now, my next destination. If my bike keeps letting me down, this may turn into a 3,000 mile walk. I was close to throwing it off the 2nd floor balcony of my hotel room. Anyway I’ve gotten my rim back and on the bike. Seems tomorrow I’ll be back on the road. This is my second hotel as the first day I rode into Baltimore after my 2nd flat on the trail. I was forced to take shelter in a different Ramada about 20 miles from here. I fixed the flat and tried to straighten the rim as best as I could.. ends up it lasted about 17 miles before flat #3 hit. I desperately had to book this room and find a bike shop. Real expensive couple of days. I’m technically homeless however not destitute. Having money in the bank makes all the difference in the world. Keeps me from being one of the feral ones. SO FAR! I’m one flat away from having my name included in a news headline that includes the phrase “lone gunman”.
