Surely nothing could go wrong on a second 100k attempt right? No pump or spare tube couldn't possibly come back to haunt me, and I definitely would've done my due diligence regarding sharp stragglers on yesterday's roadside repair right?
70k or so in and at probably the furthest point from any bike accessible public transport I notice the back end feeling very spongy and quickly realise it's lost a shit ton of air. Instant u turn and a slow tentative 9k into the closest town, caught another cyclist taking a break who fortunately had a pump. Blitzed the last 4k into town before it lost air again and just managed to catch the hourly train service.
Lesson learned, bulk bought tubes and a new pump
Third time lucky?
