Yesterday at mile 90 of my November century I noticed my front tire slowly losing pressure. It was going soft so slowly that I was able to pick a spot to fix it. It was too cold to sit by the side of the road. I chose a gas station that doesn't have a mini market so the office was just this space where I could sit for a few minutes and patch my tube. The cause proved to be a very tiny piece of wire, just a couple mm long, and hard to get out of the tire. About 6cm from a previous patch, making me wonder if I missed it last time.
