My bike tried to kill me yesterday
I was out on the IMWI course descending a hill when my left armrest mount cracked after going over a seam in the road. My arm probably dropped about an inch and a half and my bike swerved. I literally have no idea how I stayed up. Talk about a pucker moment.
Apparently, there is/was a recall on my 3T Aura Pro bars for this exact reason. It's currently in the shop, hopefully it can get fixed in a timely fashion. I might have to ride my road bike for camp week part 2. (week 18 for IMWI) That's not ideal, but what can you do? Better 3 weeks out from race day than ON race day.
I'm just happy I didn't get hurt. My ABP ride yesterday turned out a lot different than I expected. I just turned around and rode 20 miles back home. Instead of 'always be pushing' it was 'always be pedaling'......I was kind of shaken and wasn't in any mood to push it on the way home while riding on the pursuits.
