summer tires
Apr. 28th, 2003 10:28 amChanged out three of the winter tires for summer tires last night. The event that prompted this was having changed the other one earlier in the day when I got a flat laying out the Mayflower rally. I've changed enough tires that I don't really consider it a pain in the ass any more. But I've got to figure out a way to keep paper towels in the car to clean up afterwards. Last time I tried they came out of the bag I had them in and unrolled all over the trunk. Maybe folded dispenser towels in a small dispenser would work better. I'll have to check out the restaurant supply store and see what I can find.
In other news, Mayflower will be 10% (!) unpaved. That's the most unpaved I've ever put on a rally; the previous couple of Friday Nighters were about 2%, and Essex has historically been around 3% (though this year it's up to 5%). Although there are a surprising number of unpaved roads in eastern Massachusetts, most of them are pretty short. But I picked up a bunch of very nice gravel just over the border in New Hampshire. Now I just need to tweak the route up there and back so that it completes in a reasonable amount of time.
