Day 145: Markham Park Campground to Del Raton RV Park (by car)
Thursday Nov 20, 2014, 1 mile (2 km) - Total so far: 5,188 miles (8,349 km)
The big news this morning was that we started the day with three flats. When we got outside to start loading everything up, Dan discovered his back tire was flat. And when we went to move my bike, its back tire was flat, which was a first. This is the first flat I've had on the whole trip. I was actually thinking I might make it through the whole trip without a flat.
The third flat was on the trailer. The passenger side, rear tire was flat. Bill got out the compressor and we aired it up to see if it would hold for a while. We finished loading all our gear and the bikes and checked the trailer tire again. It had lost a fair amount of air so we filled it again and took off for a tire store.
We found a Goodyear location and they were able to plug the tire. They pulled a small bolt out of the tread which was the problem. We then made a stop at Atlantic Bike Shop to pick up a trike for Sandy to ride this week. Dan had made arrangements with the shop to rent a trike that they had on consignment to sell.
From there we headed north a bit up to the Del-Raton RV Park in Delray Beach. It is right on Highway 1 pretty close to the ocean. We are staying here for two nights before moving south down to Homestead on Saturday night.
The early afternoon was spent repairing our flat tires and checking the bikes over for any other problems. There was the usual trip to a grocery store for supplies. I did a very short test ride to check out the bike and stopped at the Mobil station/convenience store across the street for a soda.
It was mostly sunny during the middle of the day but got cloudy later. We never got any rain but it stayed pretty cool all day. We're hoping for warmer weather soon but it may not happen for a day or two (or three).
