[QUOTE="Tom Dixon, post: 702553, member: 26199"] What a day, it was one problem after the next. First I got up at 7:30 to finish studding up the tires. I was using an air impact to put in the screws when the air compressor runs low on air.Then I had to build a fire, in the woodstove to heat up the compressor so I don't burn it up. After that I was putting my rear tire onto the rim when I pinched the tube. SOB!! I busted out the tire patch kit and fixed it due to our lack of 18" tubes. Finally, I get that all back together. Next I wrestled the front tire off the rim and put on the studded one. I left the house at 11:20 to meet Mike at the trail. What was supposed to be an hour drive turned into a 2.5 hour tour of Mid-Michigan. I had missed Canoe Camp Road and drove until I saw a Leota trailhead sign. I followed the markers and realized that this wasn't the way. I stopped at the party store in Leota and asked where Canoe Camp Rd. was. I was given a map and directions, and hit the road. When I reached Mullet Rd. (the road I needed) I blew past it. I then turned around in someone's driveway, almost knocking down their mailbox. The people at the party store failed to mention that Mullet Rd. turns into a 2-track, and I had our race trailer. It was a very tight squeeze. Finally I reached Mike's van at 1:15. He was gone, as expected, so I unloaded my bike thinking maybe I could catch-up or at least get some riding in. As I was unloading the bike I noticed that the rear was flat again. So I loaded it back up, wrote Mike a note (I hope you got it Mike), yelled some obcenities due to my terrible luck, and went home I guess it was just not my day to ride. [/QUOTE]
