219 power hour

The day started off so well... early on the trail (6am), cool temps (65 degrees), and slight breeze.

 

On the downhill, my rear tire landed on a sharp rock and I knew, before the tire totally deflated, that it would be ugly.

 

The hole in the tubeless tire refused repair by the internal sealant, then continued to refuse repair by the tire plug. Because I like to be prepared, I carry a spare tube - which I placed into the tire. While inflating, my CO2 pump exploded (or came apart very rapidly via high pressure), so tire/tube inflation was a no-go.

 

In the end, I biked 10 miles - then walked my crippled bike another 5 miles back to my truck.
