But I have a repair kit with me on my mountain bike so if I have a flat I can take it apart and put it back together and get going again. But it has Kevlar tires (at the tune of $65 each :shock: ) and the tubes are made to withstand punctures so the chance of a flat are slim but still possible.
But riding across the country on a bike is on my bucket list and by golly I am going to do it!! Plus I have lost over 30lbs since I have been pedaling again and my wife even said I am getting my cute butt back :mrgreen:

I am going to be leaving in the next month or so heading to Indy and the Speedway.

And what better way to go and pick it up than to ride my bicycle. So now I am planning a safe route to get up there and back hitting a lot of the back roads and byways. The only bad thing about it is that I will not be able to carry any sewing machines home with me on a bike when I stop and look around at different spots during the trip. :(
But I am thinking it will be a 6 or 7 day round trip going up through TN, KY, and IN. I do want to ride through the land between the lakes and stay at the park one night. I figured as I plan this trip out that I could swing by some of your places, hang out and if it was okay crash for the night. I want to try and to meet as many quilters and machine collectors on the board on this little excursion that my wife thinks is crazy if possible. I am guesstimating that I will ride around 100 miles +/- a day and I want to change up the return route from the way I came.
