Hopefully no damage done but first of all check out the tyre. See if any Scuffs are on the sidewall. Then check the rim for damage where the rim may have run on the Tarmac. You may be lucky but No scuffs on either then fit a new tube- Or the repaired one if you are lucky and pump up to 60psi. If the tyre has any bulges or you can see the canvas on the sidewall- Then its new Tyre time. No bulges at 60- then up it to your normal pressure and leave for an hour- If there is any damage then the 100 psi will show it up.

Time to go retro -I think you can still get solid tyres in your size.
