Zielona Gora to Glogow and Glogow to Wroclaw

As I was leaving Zielona Gora, it started to rain, and the rain got heavier and heavier. After making around 40 miles I arrived in Glogow and being absolutely drenched booked into first Hotel, which has good restaurant, so treated myself to birthday steak. Managed to get dried out and set off for the city of Wroclaw. Had made nearly 70 miles when suddenly 'Bang' and I'm lying on the road. One of the carrier racks for the front panniers must have come adrift, and got into the spokes of the front wheel. The rack itself is all bent and twisted, one spoke has snapped and the front mudguard is bent. I managed to straighten it all out enough to limp into Wroclaw city centre. Having a day off anyway today (Sunday). I'll find bike shop to fix tomorrow. Wroclaw itself is a lovely city, in contrast to many of the towns and villages which very run down. I enjoyed a couple of beers with 2 German guys and a polish guy, in bar next door to hotel. Cheered me up.

    WE have been following your progress with great interest, I wish I could do the same thing. Bad luck breaking your pannier but it sounds as if you didn't hurt yorself which is the main thing. Keep pushing on, our thoughts are with you. Best wishes, Brdy and Jools.
