Ate breakfast and left in the rain. High winds and steep hills kept me in high gear today. Arrived in Hogeismer and cashed a check. Went on to Kassel, where I had to unpack and tighten my spokes. Bought five new spokes. Arrived at Fritzlar at 4 pm. Checked in and worked on the bike. I couldn't replace the spokes and in taking off the tire I punctured the tube. I put on the racing tire in hope of getting to Bad Nauheim on it where I can get the back wheel fixed. Took a short stroll through town. It's turning cold now. The town is beautiful, half-timbered buildings tower above the very narrow streets. The rain is slowly falling and only a few our out on this lonely night.
