is Maspalomas a southern fjord? looks great.
Through the clouds, nice weather above. I came down, and immediately back up again, it was too depressing.

Maspalomas is a very southern fjord in the rapidly expanding Norwegian Cycling Empire. :thumbup:

saturday had high temps for january with chance of rain by noon. i rolled the dice and headed out.

minor mist for the first 2.5 hours, then the skies opened up and i had to call the sag wagon to come get me, in fear of catching a cold. I did not have a rain jacket, but i was more worried about my feet and hands. Really do not want to be sick during off season training....

As it started to pour rain, i turned around on route and went to hide under some covering at a church I had just passed. Then proceeded to put my arms into my jacket, warm my chest, and pace around for 20 minutes til my mom came with van :(

Surf looks really good, do you have a surfboard rack on that rig?


This happened yesterday while climbing:
Image

Ironically it's one of the few parts on my bike that I never tuned/modified. The Wheels MFG "high quality" hanger snapped along its plane, throwing the derailleur up over the cassette and into the spokes. I guess I just put out "massive powa!!!" :roll:
Thankfully I was on a club century ride which had sag support, otherwise I would've been really screwed as it happened on an otherwise desolate road. The rest of the day was filled with condolences along the lines of "that really sucks" and "man, I'm so sorry"... but really, I didn't care. Still don't, and haven't been too bothered to assess damage yet. Maybe I'll get around to it tomorrow. It's just material goods, it will get fixed, life goes on. I'm just thankful this didn't happen on a downhill section.

Still laughing at what happened. :lol:

My wife's Wheel MFG hanger did the same exact thing on a climb too.
