Jay Burton and I rode our mountain bikes at Government Canyon State Natural Area. The only reason I mention him is that he had a flat tire today. That wouldn't normally happen since he runs tubeless tires with sealant in them. It would seem, though, that he hasn't replaced the sealant in a while. The sealant is usually only good for a few months. Today, when he pulled the tire off to put a tube in it, the old sealant was in a mass that looked like a red and white sponge from the deepest depths of the ocean. Very weird. We left it sitting on the side of the trail, wondering if some hiker or biker would come along and find it and totally wonder what the heck it is and where it came from. It was a good thing I had an extra tube with me, because he didn't have one (since there was no way his tires could go flat). This reminds me that I need to check my tires to make sure this doesn't happen to me.
