Nailed it. 
First puncture in about 12000km. 
Nail in the one side. 
I heard the nail ticking against the bike about 2km from my folks place. Forgot to check when I stopped by then, jumped back on the bike to head home and it was tic tic tic again, so pulled over to investigate and I see a nail in the rear wheel. 
pulling it out resulted in the obvious blast of air, but it turned the wheel so the sealant could get to the hole and the Enduro seal did it’s job. 
but as a safety because of the size of the hole I put a plug in. 
Pumped it up with my Lezyne pocket drive and I was off. 
except now I had tic tic tic from the plug sticking out to far, so pulled into a service station in Wadeville and borrowed a knife from their kitchen to trim the excess off the plug. 
 

A week off the bike had helped. Whilst I still felt the effort, the body was more willing to push through to greater exertion.

That looks amazing.  Love them night rides, usually solo, and the trails are just a few blocks away so they’re done frequently.
