I had a miserable experience doing a fondo out east where I had 2 flats, I was ready to smash the wheel into a light post. So your story may be the best motivation I’ve heard yet for me to switch the road bike.
I also got a flat doing the highwood last year, no cell service and no cars. I didn’t have to walk out, but the rest of the ride was spent being paranoid I had another flat...really reduced the enjoyment of the ride.
The main thing stopping me from trying tubeless now is the need to get new GP5000’s in a TL version, when the ones I have are still almost new.
