When riding alone, how far are you comfortable riding from your starting point (whether home, parking spot, or other)? Curious not about ride distance, but the amount of miles you would have to cover to get from your farthest point out back to your starting point.

So on yesterday's ride I heard a loud "SNAP" next to me, similar to a small firecracker, and assumed someone had a blowout flat. The guy next to me said it came from his rear tire, but interestingly his tire pressure was fine and there was no flat. He is running tubeless with sealant. So the reasonable conclusion is he had a sudden puncture that sealed itself. We stopped at a stop sign 30 seconds after the incident and there was no sealant visible on the bike or tire.
Any ideas other than above??

Assuming a round trip, I really don't consider that factor. I mean, it has entered my mind a time or two, but only in passing ("it'd suck if my wife had to pick me up here"); I'm primarily thinking about the total distance. In the last few years, the furthest out that I've gotten from home is prolly 50-55 miles.

Depends on fitness, weather, availability of friends/family/hired vehicles to bail me out, and obligations later in the day. These days virtually all my rides are within a 30 mi. radius, because I'm not interested in riding big distances.

Is the tyre kinda new? Longshot possibility is that the bead wasn't fully seated but still holding air, then midride it suddenly became fully seated. Some rim/tyre combos produce a satisfying "CRACK" when that happens, unless the crabon rim actually cracked, then it's slightly anticlimactic.

I think that, in ye olde days of road tubeless, it could take some work and frustration to get tires mounted, and hearing that sound was an accomplishment and a relief. Nowadays, it's ten strokes of the floor pump and things snap in to place, easy-peasy - I don't know if that sound would have the same impact if I'd just started with tubeless within the last couple years.

After receiving my Toshiba rice cooker yesterday, I was promptly notified by Target that the fancier rice cooker, that I'd also been considering, had dropped in price by about 50 bucks and that it was available for local pickup.
Re-packed the Toshiba, ordered the Zojirushi, picking it up this afternoon.

We don't own a rice cooker and don't cook rice.

Egads! I thought I'd put a scoop of ginseng powder in my oatmeal this morning, but it didn't dissolve AT ALL l in the boiling water, it just hardened into a lump the consistency of a piece of wood, and the perfect hemispherical shape of the scoop.
I took it out of my mouth and wondered "What's wrong with this raisin?"
Guess I might have to try to make a slurry with it before adding to the oatmeal.

I'm trying to figure out if the $45 LGs at Backcountry are good enough. I think they're of a similar level as the olde LGs I have now, but hard to tell, since I don't remember what the current ones are called and the tag is pretty much toast.

In my case it's a function of ride distance. I would be comfortable going farther from home if I felt I had the legs to get back, or the time to spend. So, 30-35 miles, because my rides are < 70 miles.
