I like how you get a picture on your courses from Bkool or wherever on Strava

Would be good if my laptop webcam took a pic as my hearts at 170 pm going up a hill

Just change the type from "Virtual Ride" to "Ride" on Strava and it will show the map...

Another frustrating night, in cursed at the moment, computer crash just when I was set up to try to hold on to @Mark68 on they long downhill to plaza España. Restarted and did it in video mode on roads i ride regularly to get back into Barcelona. Ho hum, Saturday rerun for a decent time.

I was looking at the map in street view and I could see the roof terrace of the hotel we stayed on last time we were there just off of Ramblers Road or whatever it is called.
Not too far from Freddy Mercury's Cathedral either.

My run of bad luck, technical wise continues. My front changer hanger broke this morning and even if it can be fixed, which not sure it can, it's going to be a while before I can get it to my lbs that i trust in Barcelona. Until then I'm riding on one front ring, so won't be at all competitive this month! I've checked out the handicap route and it's doable on the big ring,the 16% gradient is a little blip towards the end of the penultimate kick. However I won't be there tomorrow, for the rerun, the climbs up montjuic are beyond me in the big ring. Weeks two and three of the league i can do, but not week four which needs to big a range of gears. Ho hum... Can't wait to get back on the good bike and di2.

Oh no☹️ that really is bad luck. Is it a braze on or band on front mech?

Carbon frame so fixed with rivets, but I don't think they make a replacement part, so we'll see what the bike shop suggests.

Oh no that is no good. Would it be under the manufacturer warranty by any chance?

Failing that I'd probably try and cut the remaining bit of. Sand it down and repair with fibreglass. Then use a band on. Probably not the best idea but I don't know if it's an expensive frame that you don't mind messing with. Just an idea, but as you say bike shop probably best idea.
Have you had a Google for similar breakages

 

[Mark68]

Just had a look online for possible solutions. There's a few folk this has happened to aswell. Cannondale do a replacement with pop rivets. Not sure if it's size comparable.
