  • RTTS Day 2 & Flat Tire (Again)

    March 3, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    Day 2 of the rally was another terrific day. All but two of yesterday's group made our way from Wilmington, NC, to Savannah, GA, sticking mostly to back roads. There were lots of bridges because we hugged the coast as closely as we could. The salty breeze was a delicious treat in the heat of the day.

    The day was smooth sailing until about three miles outside of Savannah when I got another flat rear tire. I asked the group to go on without me, but they wouldn't, so Chief made a beeline to the Savannah HD while the rest of the pack escorted me. Running at 30 miles an hour with hazards on is not fun when traffic was going over 60. I was so afraid that the last rider would get smashed, but Dave didn't and we got there about 20 minutes before they closed. I figured it was another pinched tube, but I had run over a screw. Luckily HD had a tire for me and they even stayed late to fix it so I could continue on the rally. Awesome!

    So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
