Today was a day when I seriously thought about not blogging. In other word, nothing noteworthy happened. The weather was lousy this morning and the bikes didn't get on the road until 9:30. Even then there were some pretty good showers and Monty and Dave got very wet and very muddy, as did their bikes. They also had a few flats, and it is becoming apparent that the tires are wearing out. So we only made it to Tuscaloosa today. That leaves us with some 30 miles to catch up. But no worries, there is at least one scheduled short day ahead. The roads here have been from good to wagon trails. Tough on tires.
We went to a bike shop and bought some new tires. Hopefully they will improve the flat situation.
When we entered Alabama today we were ready to take pictures of the "Welcome to Alabama" sign. but all we got is a regular highway sign telling us we were in Alabama. Dave stopped and found the "Welcome" sign laying in the weeds. I guess things are tough all over.
Don't know where we will get to tomorrow. So we'll all be surprised then.The good news is that the bad weather is supposed to be gone. One week to go! God bless.
