How Does This Happen?

I was supposed to ride up City Creek Canyon last Thursday, but plans changed very fast.

That morning as I was getting ready to pack my bike on to my car & everything, I found out I had a flat tire. I thought no worries 'cause I have all the stuff to repair it, I'll just repair it on my break at work.

Well, we ended up repairing it later in the day right before we were to ride up City Creek, that wasn't the problem.

But, when my tire went flat, for some reason, my chain fell off my bike. And somehow while Sylvia and I were changing my tire, this happened to my chain:




Needless to say...I didn't get to ride up City Creek Canyon that night. :( My dad was able to fix my chain the next day in about 2 minutes though.

Little Accomplishments

I know this is going to sound kind of stupid, but it's the little accomplishments that count, right?

The weather was GORGEOUS today here in Utah, so I decided to take my bike out instead of going to the gym.

When I pulled my bike out of the shed, the chain came off, and I was able to put the chain back on all by myself! I've always had to have help figuring that out before.

I was also able to put air in both my tires all by myself too. Because I have the presta valves, they're different and they can sometimes make it kind of difficult to put air in your tires, so I felt really good that I was able to do this!

Yay!
