Then, on the wet, I went around a corner and was literally blown over . Minimal road rash, but when I got back on the bike there was a big problem. My front derailleur did not look right, and the chain was stuck between the rings . Mind you it was still raining. I got out my multitool and fixed it enough to stay in the little ring. I spun the rest of the way home.


25miles, 90 min ride time--2hrs out in the mess.
