Flat 8 miles in, fixed, but broke my pump. it's a 2nd wind inflator, so i can still use co2. i had to blow both co2 carts that i carry.

Slow leak develops (in a different spot on the tube!!) about 14 miles in. By the time I hit the bike trail, i'm completely flat in the back. Also broke a rear drive-side spoke somewhere around the 2nd flat somehow. When I got to the trail, I walked about 2.5 miles until someone painting a house offered me a ride for the last 4 or 5 miles to work.

All in all, it was pretty horrible.

I'm still not sure how I'm going to get home
