accidents happen – betrayed by auntie Kate
Yesterday I was out – drinking some, good dinner and so on. So today I didn’t really have the drive to do anything. Yet somehow I decided I have to do something.
What did I do?
I went out for a planned bike ride into the cold. Yet somehow auntie Kate (my tt bike) didn’t like that at all. And so… at the point furthest away from home out in nowhere… I went on my bike at some traffic lights and… auntie Kate’s chain ripped.
Way to tell me: “It is too cold for me out here.” *nods* I understand.
Lucky me no car tried to crash into me and people around were helpful. Of course I am ok, yet it became an issue: how do I get home? Lucky me some postal service package driver picked me up and drove me home.
Now I lack 40 more minutes of my training for today. What will I do? Now off to swimming and then a run.
It’s cold out here.
Yours

That sucks!
Falling down, standing up and getting on the side was ok. But then I stood there… ok, how do I get home? 20 minutes by car and I realized for the first time the distances I travel by bike.
Until, you had the bike boo boo, you were just having a GREAT ride. 😀 That makes me think of when we go miles on the bike trail … that could be one long ass wait for one of us to get back or even close with a car! DANG!
Now, you will have me thinking about back up chains! hahaha
Not really – there are single chain connectors you can use. Just pick one. I will also get one…
Awe … what a mean Auntie Kate! How dare she do that. I am so glad you didn’t get hurt! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
