Finally had the opportunity to use the Park tire boot I've been packing for five years - worked great but it feels like I'm riding over an endless series of tiny rumblestrips now.
Passed right through Junction and on down South Gate where I got another rear flat on that crappy section of MDSB... jeez it's bad in there. Then from the school I started up again on a non-stop trip to the Summit; there was a group there doing a sort of handicapped ride so I slotted in but I was alone most of the way. Can't blame STP any more but my legs were complaining the last couple miles and I cramped up pretty bad on the Wall.

Scott,
This blog sounds suspiciously like you are training for the Challenge. Case in point, "a non-stop trip to the summit" Are you?? Huh, huh?
Scott
For boots, I carry a 3" or 4" long piece of (worn out) tire with the beads cut off (folding tires can be cut with scissors). I put a "boot" around each spare tube in my seat bag and hold it in place with a "rubber band" cut from a piece of mtb inner tube. Price = free. Supply = endless.

Are you?? Huh, huh?
Nupe. I like being the volunteer.
