Broken

I am broken.  Riding a hill climb in mud is way more demanding than in dry conditions.  Not only that add in a deraileur so muddy it refuses to shift resulting in some missed shifts you get a situation to break things.  My chain broke because of shifting under load (not me … did it by itself) and I broke due to pushing against all that muddy resistance. I was able to ride the rest of the race and around town though and the chain stayed together enough without any complaining.  So I better stop complaining.  The weekend was good and a report my be in the works for the Bloggatero.  Stay tuned!
