Florida Keys Ride, Fourth Day

Bob's Back Tire

Today we rode from Cudjoe Key to just east of Jacksonville, Florida.  We were trying to make it a little ways up I-75 and into Georgia.  However, I had to make a call, and when we stopped, Bob and Dave noticed that Bob’s back tire was worn to the bone.  Ouch!  We usually don’t like them to get anywhere near that used.

Due to this unfortunate oversight, we stopped  here for the night.  Tomorrow morning, at nine a.m., we will call a motorcycle shop in Jacksonville about a tire.  When we confirm they have a suitable replacement, one of us will go get the tire while the other removes and tears the lame one down.  If everything goes smooth, we will be back on the road by eleven.

 

Tomorrow, we will ride up I-75 to Tifton, then cut west on Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway.  We will likely make it to somewhere in Mississippi.
