Winter yurt adventures

I started out at the crack of dawn to try to make the the Trpanj ferry a hundred miles away by 5pm. The route was alternating between the fairly level main highway and brutal uphill slogs through the mountains to the east. On one such slog, the road devolved to rough gravel and I immediately got a flat.

I usually prefer to buy from bike shops because the bikes tend to be well-maintained. But in this case, my back tire made it all of two miles, and then I had to hike to a bike shop and pay 15 euros for a brand new tire and tube. When I saw how much the guy struggled to put the tire on, I requested tire levers, but it was likely obvious to everyone in the room that the ones he sold me were woefully inadequate.

So today I learned that you can disassemble your quick release skewers and use the levers to pry off your tire. But this was only after attempting with various rocks and electronics, and I wasted like an hour and a half, and didn't make it anywhere near Trpanj.
