Well I left the house early this am to go to the Rat Run up in Portage Des Sioux. I was planning on meeting Chip and a few other friends there.
About 4 miles from the house I was thinking this will be a beautiful day. I just crossed the Meramec River bridge, and was heading north on Hwy 19. A slight early morning sun glare. Running along about 65 and it all went south in a hurry. I must of hit something in the road, I could never find it. The bike may of thrown it in the grass on the side of the road.
A nice violent tank slapper followed by a heavy feeling, and I knew I had a tire go. I finally got her shut down. Big rip in the tire. Called the Wife and a friend and got a trailer. Back home and all in one piece.
Our fall ride is next weekend, so I spent the rest of the day tracking down a new Triple Tread. Not that easy on Sunday. I had to run to St Louis to get it. The guy at the tire store was happy to mount it for me. I just told him it was for a trike, and he said no problem.
