Cambridge, MA, USA
I ventured outside for some hill repeats while on my business trip. Unfortunately I turned 100 ft too soon at one of the intersections and ended up on an on-ramp to a highway. As I was pulling over to the edge of the shoulder to figure out how to get out of the mess I just put myself in, my rear wheel picked up a two-inch nail. First flat with a tubeless setup.
The puncture was too big for the sealant to fix. Fortunately the bacon strip and CO2 cartridge worked the first time. I’ve never been good at repairing flats, especially with tubes, so I was pleasantly surprised that I got it the first time and that it held.
I eventually, carefully, worked my way up the on-ramp (in the wrong direction) and made the proper turn to the neighborhood with the hill. The first two intervals were a bit of a faff but the last five went ok for someone who normally does all structured rides on a trainer. More on the workout here.
