Grandmas Group Ride

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.
