I got up around 6:30 and broke camp. Once the bike was packed I rolled down the street about a block and stopped at May’s Restaurant for some breakfast.
Great food and great people. I would definitely eat here again.
I decided I had had enough of hwy 27 so I jumped on 84 and headed west. I figured the roads would be better toward I 55. There was no shoulder and a warning stripe so travel was slow and traffic was fast, but I made it to McComb for lunch.
It has been all rolling hills.
I decided that my lack of motivation would be cured if I booked a room in Brookhaven so I did.
I hit the rode up hwy 51. It was a much nicer and less busy road.
But as I started out I immediately began having problems with my tires. I went to put more air in my rear tire and snapped off the valve stem!… That was my last good tube! I pulled out the patches and fixed a tube.
I only made it down the road about 2 miles before it was flat again. The patch had pulled away. I re-tried to patch and took off again. I made it about 5 miles or so this time before it was flat again. My patched tube re-blew and I realized my patches where no good… fortunately I had another box. I re-patched and set out again.
The new patch held and I made it to Brookhaven around 7.
I checked in at the Americas Best Inn and unloaded my gear in my room.
I walked down the road and ate at a Japanese steak house, then went back, did my laundry and fell asleep around 10:30.
