Hagerman Pass

Rode up Hagerman Pass with Mike and Sam (who is out to do the Leadville 100 for the 10th time!)  About 2500 feet of climbing with some pretty rocky and steep sections.  After doing
the descent, I had a flat--the Michelin Mud had a nasty sidewall cut.  I had to be rescued by Mike
since I didn't think I could fix it with a tube.  The Lefty Fork worked well with 160 pounds pressure, about 40 more than is recommended.  (The Fork had lost all it's air in the previous ride.)  I've decided that the Michelins have weak sidewalls.  Comments anyone?
