took my bike in to my favorite LBS. He found and showed me a link with a pin more than 1/2way out (I missed it). So one of the plates on the link was loose, attached only on one end.no wonder it didn't shift. No wonder, it kept on dropping.
Replaced the SRAM chain with Shimano.

Ahh!! The SRAM chains are on the weaker side I feel. I ride all SRAM except my chain and cassette. I ride a Shimano chain because I feel they are stronger! I also ride a Shimano rear cassette but only because SRAM does not make an 11-21:-(
That must of been frustrating! I am always so frustrated when a training ride turns into a ride of mechanicals and nothing gets done, I always feel dissapointed for some reason.
Glad you got home safely and figured out the problem

Last summer I had a new SRAM chain with a missing side plate.
