I did the Ride The Ridge ride on Saturday. I chose the 50-mile hilly route. I normally carry everything I need, but I had forgotten a pump. My front tire went squishy. I flagged down a couple of guys. One had a CO2 cartridge. Somehow we ruined the valve in my spare tube. The other guy had another spare tube, so I used that, and there was enough CO2 left in the first guy's cartridge to get me going again.
