Oh wow! That was close. I was riding home last night from a friend's bar opening (likely shouldn't have been riding to be honest) but, I noticed my front tire seemed wobbly. Figured, oh great... one more thing to have the mechanic check out before I leave.
Then, I set out this morning and check the pressure. Didn't even register! I was riding on a nearly flat front tire last night. Yikes! I fixed it well enough to make a Saturday morning meeting, but that solves my quandary about whether or not I should ride out the last of my front tire tread to save money, or play it safe and replace it. Looks like I'm replacing it. ;-)
Tires came in and will take my bike to the shop on Tuesday. Seems so strange to be trying to make myself adhere to some specific day to leave when I really have NO other plan than leaving and a general direction I'm heading. Feels sooooooo foreign to be going THAT loose with it.
ps. I created a poll to see what folks think is a reasonably frequency rate for travel blog updates that don't annoy or get tedious. I'm thinking maybe 3-5 days? More often? Once every 10 days?
Created a poll question for people to vote and let me know what a fair rate might be HERE
