Did an easy day to recover from the two previous marathons.
Detected some sloppiness in the rear wheel bearings upon arriving at Lava Mt. Campground, and upon dissection discovered that the retaining screw holding the cassette hub had worked loose. Took the opportunity to regrease both front and rear bearings. Carrying the necessary tools all this way definitely paid off, no bike shops for miles around. Glad I spent 2 summers at GUY'S BIKE SHOP IN MADISON. NY (non-paid advertisement) as an apprentice bike mechanic. Thanks Guy- you were a good teacher!
