*Jamie was feeling creative, therefore there is no guarantee that the following post is all factual information...
Today we had a lot of flats. I’ll keep it short today because I’m sure you all are tired of reading Jade’s novels. Basically we woke up in Ludington, ate a big breakfast in town, got on the road, and had a lot of flat tires. Although today was a long 106 miles, it seemed like it would be a short day for about 10 miles before Oliver got his first flat. Promptly after fixing the flat we made it about 50 feet down the road before Oliver got his second flat. Oliver changed the flat and we made it about 50 more feet down the road before his tire blew yet again. Clearly Oliver can’t change a flat. This time Reid took over and changed Oliver's flat in record time. Now Oliver was set for another 70 miles. In that 70 miles we enjoyed a beautiful snack and lunch prepared by Linda, our new trip mom. Now, back to the flats… about 70 miles from the first three flats, Oliver and his cursed tire got another flat on the side of some highway in central Michigan. This time, because Oliver can’t change flats, G Starr stepped in and threw a new tube in Oliver’s tire. Right before the flock was ready to finish the last 12 miles of the day, Reid decided it would be a brilliant idea to start whacking my back tire with a stick. This, of course, made my tire pop and held the group for another 10 minutes while my tire was fixed by the one and only Websto. Thank you, Reid. Other than all the flats, today was extremely uneventful but we are absolutely thrilled to be in Lake George (unfortunately this Lake George is in Michigan and not New York. So sad.)
