Neaves Road - L2/L3
Easy ride out to Neaves Road... Mostly L2/L3 with some sprints out of the traffic lights... ending with a climb up Westwood.
For all the prep to prevent flats I still ended up with one today... I think it was a huge hunk of glass and it acted like a guilliotine to put a hole the size of a dime in the front tire, right through the tuffy liner and cut the tube... Luckily I was only a couple of blocks from the LBS and a ten minute walk got me a new tire etc... Still wasted close to an hour overall...

You should carry a tire boot with you (http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.asp?cat=17&item=TB-2) - it is available at La Bicicletta and other fine LBS's. I have needed one a couple times and it works well. It might not be a short walk next time.
I think I actually have some of these... I'll have to dig them up and get them into the repair kit.
