A few of the boys went for a ride at Lysterfield today. I broke my chain while riding from the car to the park entry gate – a distance of about 15m. This was after I had repaired a link that had half broken. Obviously I need more practice with the tools. I didn’t attempt to take the broken link out again because the chain is already 3 links shorter than it should be, and the shorter it gets the more it plays havoc with your gears.
The bike needed a good servce even before this happened, so I will take it to the shop and get it back all ship-shape and good as new.
As it happened, Rob forgot his shoes and so I rode his bike and he took mine home.
