Most flats in a single ride?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I f'n flatted again this morning! That's 4 flats in 3 days on the same course. I flatted 5 times the whole of 2005! Unf'n believable.

I had 3 flats on what most locals call the dam loop. I now call it the Damn Loop. It goes along the lake, where there is a lot of new house construction. The first flat was from a roof staple, the second was a finishing nail, the third was a pinch flat because all I had left was a 12g Walmart CO2 cartridge, which I couldn't get to totally fill the tire. I have had a flat almost every time I took that route. I don't do it anymore.

Yeah when the contruction on 620 was going on we were plagued by flats caused by staples. Since the constructions stopped it hasn't been as bad.
