Tuesday July 12
Somewhere on 30 west
23 to this point
Morning rain
Sleeping in
Bagel and cream cheese
Good coffee
Reading and blogging
On the road at 11 am
Dried out tent at Longview bridge
Climbed first hill in a week - oh the legs are weak!
Then the rain started.
Umbrella helps a lot but only if I open it before getting soaked.
And then the flat!
Yup again.
Right front.
As usual.
Had lots of practice now - 10 minutes!
Sitting in a coffee shop warming up, drying off, washing wet clothes.
I started getting flats at 1100 miles on the trike, like almost everytime I went out. I think it has to do with friction and brakes on front tires wear out front tires faster. Tires worn out and picking up debris. Need to change tires. Get kevlar. Expensive but worth it. No more flats.
