Right when I hit it I knew it was not good, I pulled off of the road and sure enough both tires were flat. I always make sure that I carry a spare tube with me for rides, but today that was not good enough. I ended up calling my wife to come pick me up. On the bright side at least I got a 10 mile ride in.

Lesson learned today is I either need to carry (2) spare tubes or (1) tube with a patch kit. Tomorrow I will be heading to the LBS to get more spare tubes and a patch kit so I can get back at it.

Update: While changing the tubes I notices I now have two bent rims that will have to be replaced.
