After 15 min or so of trying to yank it out I gave up, that thing was really stuck in there. Took it to the shop later in the day and they had to loosen lockring and cog to get it out.
So my chilly hilly ride ended before it even started, but I learned a painful lesson to check my chain tension more often.
I plan to at least go out one weekend soon and ride the route though.
man, thats sucks.
if you go, i'll go with you, i'd love to do it on my fixed gear
