More bike shop, dog park

Day mileage - 17.6
Total mileage - 17.6
Campsite - Upper Montclair, NJ

So its the second day, first real day for me. Graham and Bryan hit the road early, and just as they needed to shift gears, Graham shifted his back derailleur into the spokes of his back tire (ouch). It turns out he had forgotten to set the set screws and ended up bending it and couldn’t ride! I met up with them at a gas station in Bogota, where they were waiting for a ride to the closest bike shop. We spent 5 hours there, but it was cool because we met a crazy, yet entertaining, bmx rider- to say the least.

We got on the road, scored an embarrassing 17.3 miles to upper Montclair and camped out in a dog park called Mills Reservation.
