There was that little panic moment when I wondered if the end result would be just that, but then I remembered, quit TRYING to pedal! Clip out, stop, and deal...
Sure was a waste of perfectly good momentum getting up that next hill, though!

Isn't it funny how we keep trying to peddle after we drop the chain, -like that will change something! Originally Posted by Kano

I have done that more than once.
Glad you and your DH have the speed thing worked out pretty well.
