Bummer, not much you can do when you blow the bead or sidewall, except for a new tire. When loaded touring you always need to have a spare-but not standard on club rides. I had a tire blow up on Mt. Carmel Rd. and had to call my wife so don't feel bad.
I'm signed up for the CWC in September, there may be another pre ride scheduled, not sure.
