Yep, a 40 mile ride with 3 flats is no fun! I have pictures and everything!

I had a similar thing happen. Puncure after puncture. After the third or fourth I found the tiny wire. A single strand from the front derailleur cable had embedded in the tyre. A tiny piece that I missed on repeated checks of the tyre carcas, but it was enough to pierce the tube under load.
