Ride the Wilds trail system. Great riding. Not smooth for most of it so you go about 30mph tops average 15. I didn't get to do a lot of the technical stuff since my friend rented one so I didn't want to leave him behind he wasn't allowed to do the tough trails. The first mile in my thermo switch went... Go figure. cut a piece of the brake line metal that wraps it bent it and stuck it in the connector to get back. Tossed in a toggle switch So at least we could still ride which worked for the weekend.  I knew I should have done it before i went but i kept saying I'll wait until it goes before I do it usually I am riding at a friends, go figure it happens the one time we take a trip lol.  Then on the way out in the last 2 miles of the trail I ended up with a hold the size of my finger in a rear tire... On a pretty smooth old railroad track.  8 ply tire GBC Dirt Commanders. So That sucked there goes $180 it out two plugs with tire cement in the plug and used my mini inflator and it held air surprisingly.  Looks like the lug tried to tear off, who knows, could have been a railroad tie i guess. I'm reserving judgement on the tires as of now.  Otherwise it was an awesome trip we hit maybe 50% of the trails in this small section at gorham berlin area, didn't even get into Jherico and we rode for 7 hours about 60 miles. I will be going back when I get the switch fixed and a new tire. I  guess I can ptch the old one right and keep it for a spare, though i wish it was a front that got the hole.

Probably do an HD inside hot patch take care of that for a while. Looks like something wicked got "introduced" to the tire.   

Yea I'm buying a new one and will patch this for a spare,  maybe tube it
