I went for my first bike ride (on the road bike, not the commute bike) in a while. I was planning to go for a nice 2 hr ride and was looking forward to putting 40-50 km on my bike. I also put in a nice climb. Mt Eden Road in Cupertino, if you've ever been there. Its a nice semi steep 1 mile climb in the Cupertino/Saratoga mountains. I did it surprisingly fast. Kept my cadence at around 60 I guess. I really felt good. So what went wrong.... As I was starting my descent, my chain broke and got jammed. I should have stopped earlier since my chain was spilling gears a lot during the ride.
Had this happened during the climb or while I was going really fast down hill, I may have blogging from my hospital bed instead. So the bike is in the shop and I really only got 1/2 the work out in that I wanted. Other than that I feel great. I think I may even go for a run later this afternoon.
you can see where the chain broke
