| Drove to the OA office to pick up my bike and then rode to the Yellow house to pick up kezza and ride up to the start of the Tour de Pete. All went well until just after the Caswell Drive intersection along Belconnen Way when I got a late call from Kez about some fencing wire on the road and road straight over the top of it. The result was the wire wrapping around my rear derailleur and rear cassete on one side of my back wheel and the quick release lever on the other side, my back wheel stopped moving but the bike continued at 35 km/hr as I fishtailed down the road.
My deraileur was completely fucked and all I could do was bend it enough so that it wouldn't hit my spokes and then remove some links from my chain to turn my bike into a single speed. Some clown from Turner turned up to watch me along with Kez.
With the mechanic work done and the fencing wire removed I though I was ready to go and complete the Pete but then Kez noticed the massive hole worn through my rear tyre from skidding 50 metres down the road. I decide the smart move would be to try and make it back to Hackett and the car before my tyre exploded.
I made it almost to Macarthur Ave before my rear tube exploded and I had a bit more fishtailing down the road for fun, I changed the tube, only half inflated the tube and crossed my fingers that I would make it back. Everything went well and I was riding up Majura Ave only about 500m from the office and the second I thought "at least I can walk the rest of the way from here" the tube burst and I had to walk the rest of the way.
Drove home to sulk and have a coffee. |
