Day 14- Mt. Crawford, VA to Lexington, VA

I called a bike shop and asked if he knew anyone willing to host me because there were no Warmshowers hosts in that area. He suggested I call the local churches, so I did. The Lutheran church in Lexington offered to put me up at the local hotel. Very generous of them.
I noticed my back wheel was wobbly and investigated to find a broken spoke. I called Jonathon to see how critical it was. He didn't answer. So I called Chris from my night in Shippensburg and he said I should put the replacement spoke on.
Amidst my tinkering a cyclist in his 50s, an engineer, pulled up and asked if he could help. What a relief.
After too much time, we had it all fixed and ready to go and released my back brake.
I pulled up to the hotel way after dark.


After dealing with the wheel.


Thank you emergency spoke.
