Rain, was the theme of the day. Along with construction on my route from Dryden, ON to Marathon, ON. Today was a rather shorter ride; 629Km. I had planned to have longer days at the beginning of the trip, since I’d still be fresh; expecting for the fatigue to starting kicking on day 3-4, which is right about now.
Spending the night in Marathon, ON. Oh, upon my arrival at the motel, I had discovered that my side-stand has lost a bolt, and now it has only one bolt left holding it to the bike. That’s too much pressure for one bolt. I’m using the center-stand for now. But, I need to replace that lost bolt; soon. I can’t put the bike on center-stand every time I pull at a gas station! But, that’s what’s going to happen unless I find a fitting bolt. An intermediate solution would be just to get a screw/bolt that is thick yet would fit inside that bolt-less hole. This way, when I stop, I can just shove this “temporary” bolt; to help off-load some weight from the one remaining bolt.
