99 miles in and you get a nail through your tire & rim...how deflating. Sorry, had to. I'd be concerned about the rim if it were me, but I may keep riding it and just keep a close eye on it for cracks. That bike wouldn't be my choice for a ride that takes me a long way from the house until I felt that I could trust the rim.
