Day 26 Quincy, IL

We opted to stay in Quincy in order to take advantage of the bike shop in order to get April's rear wheel trued up and to fix the mystery noises that her bike was making. We easily found the Madison & Davis Bike shop thanks to Jay Trimble's directions, and Ryan their ace mechanic quickly had us under way. They are a professional shop, very knowledgeable and I highly recommend them if you're in the area!
In addition to the repairs we bought some needed supplies including tire patches, a new mirror for me, and a new helmet and set of shoes for April. I mentioned to the owner that they came highly recommended by Jay and he said, "Oh sure, Jay is one of our high mileage riders"... I checked the Big Dog roster and last year he logged over 11,000 miles, and put on 30 centuries...humbling.
