Catastrophic Crater Cruise for me.

Chain snapped and tore off my rear deraileur 18km in before the 1st water table. single speed didnt work as chain skipped up and over tightened. I abandoned 21km in, and then hobbling back to the start I punctured. must have lost my bomb aplicator nozzle when rebuilding the chain earlier, luckily had my hand pump. Such a miserable end to an absolutely gorgeous day and friendly good start in B batch.

I hope this marks the end of this years bad luck!

 

1 destroyed chain

1 destroyed rear deraileur

Anybody know where any of the photo's will be posted? I saw some on Facebook, but since I'm not one of the fast MTBers I'm obviously not there.
