Camp for two nights at Hyde Park, Aug 16-17, 2006

Bicycle resting near my tent.

This was the central tent, set up at each camp for distribution of literature about the next day's activities, the sale of cold drinks, or just visiting. Our camp these two nights was at a Catholic girls' school in Hyde Park.

A "shower trailer!" Cyclists need nothing more than a good shower after a day on the road. On some days we were able to use gym showers at schools we camped at. But here, we used this innovative trailer that contained ten shower stalls, appropriately divided.

Neighbors for the moment, visiting.

The bicycle mechanic who accompanied our trip and who would set up a bike maintenance shelter each evening. I had a slow leak later, and he quickly installed a new tube.
