We moved the trailer to Mountain Grove which is only 45 miles from the bicycle shop. Once we set up the trailer, we headed back to West Plains. The gentleman at the shop trued Vincent’s wheel again (I suppose since he is carrying the panniers, it makes sense that his wheel keeps getting out of whack) and replaced the tube, we headed back to the trailer. We drove about a mile and POW! that tire blew again. We went back to the shop and he couldn’t find anything wrong with the tire or the wheel. He said he had never seen anything like this before. We decided to put a different tire on. He had very little inventory-no touring tires at all- and said if it happened again we would have to go to the big bicycle shop in Springfield. We managed to get back to the trailer with no mishaps. The forecast for tomorrow is very severe weather with hail, strong winds and heavy rain and a chance of a tornado. We are going to stay here another day and hope we can get back to bicycling on Thursday.
I hope you guys are staying safe, and missing all the wild tornadoes.
