Either I'm trying too hard or not trying hard enough
I'm getting all kinds of practise in preparation for Mayhem, including picking myself up after sliding along the ground, getting soaked in the rain (I hope it's dry on the Mayhem weekend of course!) and bending an XT derailleur back into shape to get back home. :shock: (RD-M735 = bombproof!)
But I need to to learn how to fall off on the non-drive side instead, not that I want a matching left leg but I don't think the rear mech will take any more of a bashing!
Oh, and I've also sprained my left thumb, so tomorrow's ride will either be excruciating when changing on the front shifter or, more likely, it'll be 4 miles of middle-ring-only riding! (And typing this post one-handed is a right nuisance.)
I hope everyone else's 'training' is less eventful!
