Today was one of thouse days, I got to Daves house really, really late. I blame snuggling with the new wife for to long, but hey can you blame a guy?
So after getting the bike set up, I decided to take the short way in to work, a quick ride up Sycamore street and I'm there. This route cuts my ride in about 1/2.
Well last night there was some rain and its been a long time since I rode with wet roads. Going down the hill I pushed and got the bike up to about 32 mph. Just as I crosed the street, the car in front of me puts on their left turn signal and comes to a dead stop. WOW do thouse new disk breaks ever lock up a tire. The back tire started to fish tail, both feet came out of the peddels, and I was sitting on the top tube. At this point I was excepting I was going to crash. Somehow, I managed to get my feet out into the ski position, feather back the break and keep the bike upright. At the same time I got over onto the side walk and brought things to a complete stop. When I looked back there was a fish tail drag mark throght the entire intersection. Must have been quite a show for all thouse watching.
Fisxed my chain, it fell off during all the excitement, and back in the saddle again. Thats when I looked down at my HRM and relised that is the highest its ever been. Wow, I did not know my heart went up that high.
