New Rider today


Today was a small break in ride to Welcome Duncan to Mo-town, and also to introduce Cat to the scene here at WVU. Emily, Chad, Duncan, Cat, and myself headed out, we went past the lair onto the trail and headed towards Snake Hill via Doug Hill. Chad was suffering and Cat was looking stronger then some of the newbies I have riden with.


The ride was ended short when I kept dropping my chain on snake hill. After a quick inspection I found my little chain ring had bent, and I had way too much climbing left to complete the ride with only a big ring. So I bailed, with Duncan returning with me to help me up the hills, and Cat returned also, saying she just wasnt ready for all of these hills yet...


After returning I didn't feel too bad as Emily informed me her and chad turned around 5 minutes later...
