Oh Tim, try a little sticky rice pudding on that tire. You'll have grip all day long!

Probably could have repaired his luggage rack with it too!

FINALLY!

Home safe and sound. It was a much better day today. Some rain early, but nothing that took more than a minute or two to ride thru. Then hot, sunny, and muggy all afternoon. Same number of miles as yesterday, but I feel like I only road half as far.

The right hand tail light on the trailer went out sometime this morning. Since the trailer hides the turn signals on the bike, I had to use hand signals every time I made a right turn or shifted to the right lane. It's HARD to do a right turn hand signal when you have arthritis in your left shoulder! Especially when it's already aggravated by riding so long.

At least the left brake light and turn signal on the trailer still works and the brakes lights on the bike are visible above the trailer (and modulated). Still, I was very vigilant watching to make sure no one missed them.

Glade to see you made it safely home Phil.

Glad to hear you're finally home, and your riding today at least had different challenges than yesterday. Riding in that weather with a tail light out, you would have had to stop and fix it. Enjoyed riding the island with you, take care, and enjoy the rest of the summer. Some say the best riding is done in the Fall.
