2 Flat Tires in the same day - 30 minutes apart

What a day !!!! We left this morning to go to Hamilton to take a friend of mine out riding (she's a newbie). Didn't even get a mile when my TPM was flashing red. Slowly rode back to the house ... YUP, a 1/4 inch black screw in my back tire. It was just barely enough to perforate, go figure

Well, I learned how to plug a tire. So, back on the road again and within 30 minutes "Skapan" had the flashing red light screaming at him on the highway. Pulled in to gas station ... YUP, another screw in his back tire. Now what are the chances of that happening??? Needles to say, he didn't bring the plug kit. Went to Canadian Tire and bought another kit, plugged the tire ... we were 1.5 hours late and a little spooked that maybe we shouldn't be riding today.

All worked out fine, the newbie had fun and learned a lot. I now know how to plug a tire !!!
