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.

Gate Junction School Summit Gate
Got an early start up North Gate but punctured at the bottom of the Bump. Actually I think the little tread cut in my rear is deeper than I thought and the tube found a way through... probably time to ditch this guy.
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.

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.

Nupe. I like being the volunteer.
