I'd like to get out and ride somewhere. Headed to Moab this weekend (hopefully in the "CJ") and a wedding next weekend in Idaho Falls (good friends daughter). How's the 28th?

Somewhere a fat, out of shape guy could handle. What's a trail that's got a trail rating of 3 or 4 on a 10 scale? I'll be using my vintage Mongoose mtn bike (no suspension---I bought it when I was going to the U in '93 or so)

SO not spending money right now. I just $600 in my "CJ" the last couple of days. My son left a TREK with a front suspension fork when he moved out. I assume that's mine now. I could probably get that gone through before the 28th

Antelope Island or Corner Canyon, I think, are about as "flat" as mtb trails get in Utah. Or we could go do laps at Fruit Loops in Kaysville, a series of very short loops with varying technical difficulty.
Gonna be real, if you're as out of shape as you say you are, you can't "handle" anything right now
. I don't say that to discourage you, just be ready for some huffing and puffing and possibly some pushing for your first several rides.No matter how often I ride, I huff and puff. I think we always push the limits, no matter where on the spectrum we are.

I'd highly recommend Fruit Loops or Kaysville Wilderness Park to any newbs. The climb at Fruit Loops is gradualish enough but still makes you earn your decent. Plus there is an option to bail at the bottom and have your ride come pick you up. I usually park at the bottom and start with a climb so I don't finish on a climb, buy that's me.

Kaysville Wilderness has a mix of climbs and descents to mix things up.

If this is happening on 10/28 I'm 80%in too. I'll even let folks take a spin on my cheater bike and can bring my hardtail Norco for someone to ride.

I need to bow out for the 28th unfortunately. EJS pre-run season is upon us. I had a lot of changes (so far) for this year

If it is already tubless and its dry inside, add some Stans or what ever you prefer. Spin the tire and let the Stans do its job.

Probably no patch required - throw some sealant in there and see what happens. I like Orange Seal Endurance, seems to last the longest in our dry air and seals as well as anything else, but anything works. Air it up and if it's spitting sealant through the puncture you can try putting your finger over it for a minute to give the sealant a chance to set up. Worst case scenario you plug it, I like the Granite Stash, I have one on each bike, but they're all about the same.

Bountiful downhill is still clear (enough) of snow for these two.
