its been awhile since ive posted. the last two mnscs races have come and gone... poorly. race four of the season happened at my home hill of mount kato. after a fantastic start and solid positioning on the first climb, i broke my chain. which equaled a dnf. two weeks later im in redwing for race five of the season. geared wrong. the course was a total 32x20 course. i showed up with 32x16, essentially bringing a nife to a gun fight, cause the course was a total 32x20 course. but it didn't really matter, cause after suffering through the first lap, i snapped my brake cable in half, ending yet another race with a dnf. i have since switched back to a 20t, but have been plagued with chain dropping issues. hopefully a new chain and some readjustments to my chain ring should have the problem solved. tonight was the second grandmas group ride down in wells Minnesota. we had a solid turn out with five of us. did about 8 laps, drove back into town, and rode our bikes out to the wildcat bar and restaurant. $2.50 beers go a long way when the come in a 25oz mug.
