Glennallen, Glennallen, Glennallen.
Friday: We decided to rest. My tendons were still sore, Ben's knee was aching, Kayla was patient with us. At some point during the day we each spent time at the library reading and computering. Earlier in the day, while getting coffee, Ben and I had a 3 hour long conversation about almost everything with a man from Toronto. We didn't learn his name, he specifically said that he was not going to give it to us because the world is just too small these days and we could put anything we wanted on the internet. He was just being cautious.
Saturday: A lot of reading got done, and some amature cobblery, but no forward progress was made on the trip. We were still staying at the same campsite we'd been at since Thursday and there we met another traveling cyclist. She was a woman from Anchorage riding to Haines. We shared a campsite and crossword puzzle with her, and we decided to ride together for the next leg of the trip. Well, we decided that Ben and Kayla would ride with her for the next leg. I'm taking a few more days off in Glennallen to rest my body before I get back on the road. My plan is to hitchhike to Tok on Tuesday to meet up with them.
Sunday: Now. Glennallen. Everyone else has ridden on to Tok. I think I'll go read and drink some coffee.

Hang in there Chris! I love being able to read about your trip through these blogs. I found the link on Kayla's site. Even if you have to hitchhoke halfway through Canada, remember your health is all you've got. Take care of yourself and you will get better! Keep on bloggin! Hugs, Krista
are you stretching 3 times a day? you should be stretching 3 times a day every day and you should also be working your calves and feet muscles daily to strengthen them around the tendon. (in a non-bike riding fashion.) Gordon is very depressed about yous guyses' departure.
Emory street got your post-card. Thanks buddy. Hope you recover. I will call you on the 25th of August. Keep on blogging and thanks for those final presents. I love them!!
