Fat is slow. Slow and fat is still puncture.
Not sitting beside the road trying to tape a sidewall and jam in a new inner tube is all I want. I do these because I like the epic cycling, not because I'm going to be troubling the front of the race - so worrying about lowering my Crr when I'm stopping every hour to try a new local beer isn't the correct order of priority for me.
Given the amount of walking I did I reckon he would've been better off walking down during daylight and dealing with it at the hotel. If it was still fucked he could've got to a bike shop at least. I think (know) someone gave him a tube so presume he was trying to install that.
