We were having a lot of trouble with thorns poking holes in our tubes. Eight flats in two days.
We were sitting at the North Jefferson trailhead bemoaning our fate. Should we fix our tires
and ride over the bridge to jefferson City and try to find a bike shop or should we try and
push on. Our daughter struck up a conversation with Dan and his friend. Dan turned out to
be a gentleman of the highest rank. He drove us over the bridge and to J and D Bike shop.
They put heavy duty tubes and liners in my daughters bike. It was all done in an hour. Dan
came back to pick us up and drove us back to the trail head. Sometimes life can get a guy
down, but it isn't going to happen in Jeff City as the locals called it.

I recommend Slime to avoid that type of flat or at least Kevlar tires. I use Slime in my MTB tires all the time and never, ever get a flat. Haven't had a MTB tire flat in 30 years and I've had tons of thorns in my tires and have ridden on some seriously nasty terrain in various parts of the USA. So, for rides like the KT, the stuff is great. I once rode the Katy with a guy who had no Slime and he got so many flats, he ran out of patches. I gave him my spare pre-Slimed 2.5" tube and he went the rest of the trail w/o flats. I knew I wouldn't need it anyway. Peace of mind.
