Devil Mountain Double recap

[maillotpois]

..... Did I tell ya all about my rear wheel coming off?

V.

Yeah - and that's absolutely horrifying!!! It's lucky you're okay and that the bike's okay, too. Did you figure out what's up with the brakes??

The weird thing is, I usually stand for a bit after Devil's Elbow, doing a kind of easy standing spin before the final push up to the summit. On Saturday the rear end felt squirrely when I did that. At the time I figured it was just the wind. But after I wondered if somehow my rear quick release had come loose and what really happened was the rear wheel came off and that pushed the chain in.

I haven't looked at the brakes yet. Yesterday was eat and sleep day. Today was do the groceries and cook something for the rest of the week.

Tomorrow is get back into the groove of riding. So, I'll be dealing with it later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Something I forgot to put in my write up... I passed a motorcycle on the descent from Morgan Territory. That's the third one I've passed.

Veronica, you are amazing. I just read all this. Wow. Great work, amazing obstacles. I think "falling down in a heap" pretty much signals the end of any ride. Thanks for posting the story and great pictures. L.
