Schleck moment

plowmar

Just changed down to go up a short but steep incline when the chain wheel stopped dead.

Lost momentum and unclipped on the right as per. bike slowly starts to topple to left.

Don't know how but stayed upright and whilst stationary unclipped left and saved my self.

As you'll have guessed chain had gone in between two chain rings. I was experimenting using the triple chainring and not changing the rear set, so the fact that the rear was in the 12 gear may have something to do with it but the pants filler was the feeling that the first fall was imminent even if just slow speed.

White outfit as well.

Where's the follow up car when you need them???

I thought the ''Schleck moment'' was going to involve going out for the proverbial swift half and finding yourself unable to compete the next day

We were on an aventure race and there was a "mountain biking" stage - as we were stuck behind another team of non bikers I thought I'd swing wide an pull the rest of my team past.

As I get past them I stand up to sprint, chain falls off and I go over the top of the bars, smashing myself on the floor an covering myslef in blood for the rest of the race

Tha was the second stage of...erm...six :oops:
