Tired ride. We kept waiting to get a noticeable tailwind; we are still waiting.
We crossed paths with Jason on Carpenter Pond Rd; he was fixing a flat; from a serious cut on the "road-contact" part of the rear tire. He had made a boot from a Cliff Bar wrapper, but DntW was doubtful it would hold; I think Jason was less than confident it would hold. Dave said he had made boots by cutting a piece from a plastice bottle; Dave spied a bottle across the road. I provided the knife to do the cutting; Dave cut a piece, and re-did the boot; Dave is fast at changing tires. A little air from one of Jason's cartridges, and a bit of "adding it slowly" to "top off" from my pump. Jason reported that he got home in good condition.
