I left Kingman, Arizona early yesterday morning, heading West towards Laughlin, Nevada. That takes you through Golden Valley, Arizona, and I grabbed a pic of it, coming in. Immediately after that, I got a flat in the rear tire, around the valve stem. Seeing that it was not repairable, I put on my spare inner tube, and continued.
It got slightly over 100*F, so I kept in the shade most of the day, then got most of the way to Union Pass, when it cooled down. 😎
Then this morning, I got across Union Pass early, to beat the heat. Coming down the other side, I stopped to take a pic of Bullhead City, Arizona. Guess what? I immediately got another rear flat! 🙄😬🙄
I got my good tube off the front, and onto the rear, so I can at least push the bike, lol, but it's slow going. I'm about 5 miles from town now, so it'll work out fine, eventually, but it sure is frustrating. 😉
The moral of the story, don't stop to take pictures, anywhere around Golden Valley. Unless you have plenty of spare tubes. 😋🤪🙄😉
