houston, we're back in business. managed to scoop up the last right-sized remaining roll of rubber left in the town of carbondale, illinois, home of the the southern illinois u. salukis. after the damage was assessed, it appears the bridge cut through the last bit of tread and kevlar layer. the only thing that was left holding the air inside for those last seventy miles or so was the stubborn armadillo layer... so today's game ball goes to mr. armadillo who kindly kept the duck on the road. due to equipment adjustments, today's hard count is limited but still made it into the town of murphysboro successfully and somewhat dry. while rolling through, i did manage to see some of the damage from last night's storm but things didn't appear so bad, just blown down trees and debris.
today's count: 49 miles
time on the wounded horse: 4:03
pounds shed via postal service: 13
time to run the ol' girl lean and mean so the nag is now nothing but a flying gas can. tomorrow missouri - duck out, over.
