What was originally planned as a fun 100km+ ride at Modderfontein to try and clear my head turned into a short local spin due to a sick kid on Saturday night, and it just got rougher as it went along:

  • After "proactively" changing my chain last week realised that I wasn't quite proactive enough, meaning that I had chain suck and the chain skipping on the cassette whenever I put power down due to a worn chainring and cassette ($$$). 
  • Had a massive almost-OTB on a jump that was reshaped on my local trail. Not sure how I pulled out of it, felt like I did a 5m long nose manual. Pinched my front brake hose, might need replacement ($)
  • Rounded the morning off by smacking the street after foolishly attempting a tiny jump off of a kerb, rolling my front tyre. Dented helmet (not sure if it needs replacement, and if Scott has a crash replacement guarantee, so more $$), torn seat ($), road rashed elbow and shoulder.

The only positive I could take out of this was that I at least gave the security guards that were close by when I hugged the ground a good chuckle. 

One for the (wrong) books.
