I had a blowout just before I was ready to arc at speed into a 90*, right hand turn at the bottom of a fast hill. A nanosecond later and I'd have gone down; as it was I managed to save myself from a fall. "There's a special providence that watches over fools and Americans." Seriously, thank God!
(That was also the first time I tried CO2 cartridges; didn't bring a pump. Emptied 3 without getting any air into the new tube, and walked home.)
