Day 8 (415 km)
Today we decided to leave around noon and it was still raining anyway,
so we could catch up reorganizing our luggage and enjoy our good internet
access. After we left, we passed a few nice rock formations on our way to the
BR 070, which is the main road to Cuiaba and of course just before we reached in
Barra do Garcas, where we had to make the right turn, I had a front tire blow
out and after looking at the tire, we realized it is beyond repair and Scotty
went to Barra to see if he could find a new one and meanwhile I was taking off
the front wheel. Then I saw I needed to change my brake pads as well.
An hour later Scotty came back
with the right size tire for only $ 65.00 and after putting it all together
again, I had an issue with the new brake pads. Probably I did something wrong
and we have to tend to that tomorrow because it was getting 6 pm and decided to
look for a nice hotel for 2 days and do laundry and tend to both our bikes.
Scotty now wanted a new front tire as spare and a new 2nd speeding
cable and I had to tend to the front brake issue (binding a little bit and the
front disk is getting red hot!)
