Pumped it up only for it to be back down to 0 psi in less than a minute or so.

This should have been named the Annual Puncture Rideout.

We stopped at the ok diner as well, dmc had a puncture repair kit on him but by the sounds of it might have been too big.
My tyre did the same on the way down, looked liked it had been ragged to death, did decrease my chicken strips by about 5mm though, so every cloud has a silver lining lol.
I reckon ive lost a few hundred miles worth of wear due to that puncture, i knew something was up but didnt realise it was a puncture so was still going at speed.
