Nice day in the Don today!
So... been riding those trails for almost 10 years and just this year I was shown the loop on the Ridge NE of the parking lot at thorncliffe park. How long has that loop been there?
Keith- Thanks for the idea on the tire. Crazy glue gel on both sides of the cut like you suggested... and then I followed that by sanding the inside of the tire, putting on a tube patch and clamping it in a C-clamp for a while and it's good as new

(only today's ride on it so far, but seems to be holding up.)
