    The road guards kept sweeping the corners throughout the afternoon. The running theory is that the saboteurs stuck around and replenished the tack supply on the road from time to time. It's kind of odd that no one noticed anything unusual going on.

    Someone did this one year in the Houston to Austin MS150. The route passes through a state park known for its narrow, hilly roads. They put tacks down just to cause flats. It wasn't as though the roads are heavily traveled. At a recent mountain bike race some equestrians were upset the trail was closed so they moved tape in sections. The race had been posted for over a month and was one hour from being over. It is suspected the horse riders did it because they threw a fit at the entrance gate and to a park police.

    I am glad you are okay, that is one sick person.
