I wanna sho--ooo-oo-oot
The whole
Day
Down!


1) half way to work - chain snapped
2) look in saddle pack - zip is undone - chain tool nowhere to be seen


Is it some kind of weird coincidence that my local branch of EBC opens today, I was told at Leeds that if I wanted to delay my free service until the Sheffield branch opened today, so I was thinking "might aswell book it in for a once-over"

So, looks like I shall be dropping it in for a service and a new chain....

Ditto, got a fair distance to work and wondered why my rucksack felt so light, its because it wasnt there comepletely forgot to put it on, still, lovely (if f*cking frezing) day for it, -8 it said on my outside temp thingy.

I did that once and also forgot my helmet but realised in time on both occasions.

I used to regularly get 1/2 mile down the road before I realised I'd forgotten my helmet/bag,just feels weird now riding without the helmet.
I took my chain apart last week for the 1st time(power-link) and was paranoid all the way to work in case I'd put it back on wrong.

Mondays are OK when your retired, it's just another holiday

Not too bothered really as I don't do the M-F ratrace thing but generally have different days off.

I think its part galloping senility (I am nearly 40 ) and the fact I used my Hybrid yesterday for a ride with the youngest and I use panniers with that, coupled with the fact I havent used the rucksack for that long compared to the panniers and also I was marvelling at the brisk chill around my nether regions.

That and I am a doofus

I did it early one morning during the snow thingy....First time ever.Although I realised when I had walked down the road...Had to walk too much snow.

Not only did I once forget my rucksack, but I locked it in the garage along with all my keys, phone, cash etc...

Thanks to letting agents!
