My crazy run came to an end today.

Nope, didn't crash. I haven't had a major crash since 2011 (hit by a truck) but I have had a regular enough stream of minor MTB crashes (the kind that don't even stop the ride) that I don't even recall them all.

I had a flat today.. it has been something like 8 years. I haven't rode that much the past 5 years due to the pandemic plus being in a period of having a little kid and also a period of burnout. But we're still talking in excess of 20,000 miles on the New England moonscape of roads and our rocky/rooty trails.

So I had a flat on the rear tire of my Trek Farley, which I had set to the whopping setting of 5psi yesterday. Slow leak and I found it in the garage.

I ended up putting sealant in the tire and away I went on a ride. Maybe it was dumb that I didn't let it sit but I was overdue to refresh the sealant and it definitely didn't leak on today's ride.

I know the last flat was on my All City. I think it was in 2015. My Trek Domane that I got in 2016 has still never had a flat.
