Today's ride was destined to be trouble. I started out by leaving my camel pack with all my tools in it at home. I had to change a flat before I took off, but without my tools, the job took an extra 10 minutes.

I took the same route as last week, but today's ride was on the single speed. (this is a bike stripped from its gears and derraliers.) It would be a tough workout. However, my crank arm came loose halfway up the hincapie challenge. I turned back towards the truck, because like i said earlier I didnt have any tools with me today.

Partway back, the crank arm actually fell off. I rode the rest of the way with one pedal like a handicap man. I am glad I have two legs. Only one leg stinks...
