Today, we had flat tire number two on Paul’s rear tire on I-80. A small steel belt fragment had lodged in the tire, and punctured the inner tube in several places. I changed the tire, removed the metal fragment, but unfortunately, I only found one of the leaks. The others would haunt me for a couple of more days.
Brother Jerry B called while we were on Rte. 130. I told him about the flat on the expressway, which freaked him out, and I also told him that we had just found six rattlesnake road kill on the road, which freaked him out even more. Tom had cut the rattle off one of the dead snakes as a souvenir.
We had a nice lunch today near the N. Platte River. We met John F. Watson, Jwats2561Agmail.com, a retired fireman from Denver, CO who was riding a Co-Motion road bike. Riverside is 7200 ft. above sea level.
We made it to Riverside, WY where we camped in a light rain.
Total miles today: 61
