We made it to Arcata in no time, despite the rain and cold. After visiting 2 bike shops and making some phone calls, Alex found the rim he wanted in stock at a bike shop in Eureka. Therefore, Nick and Alex don't have to wait around for an extra couple days for an ordered rim to arrive. Meaning, I am going to stay in Arcata tonight and head out tomorrow with Nick and Alex as company. Matt has opted to stay an extra day to catch up on correspondence and blog updates.
Nick and Alex biked down to Eureka to pick up the rim, have it installed and bike back to Arcata since we have a connection, for a place to stay through warmshowers.com (a cyclists version of couchsurfing.com). It does seem like another short day in the crapper but with the rainy weather and chance for companionship all the way to San Fran, I feel that it is well worth it!
