Expect for the gear shifter that I exploded, the bike is in good shape. But as you can imagine, not being able to use the front shifter could present some problems.

No worries. Just get the chain on the middle or inner ring and roll with it!

This will just further level the playing field a bit more so I can keep up.

Lots of mud from yesterdays rain, and even worse were the rocks. My 'back yard' trail as I call it has lots of ledge, and that stuff was slippery

. Ended up taking a few nice falls on the rock. Today was one of those days I wish I was riding platform pedals.

nice........now just rehab it the rest of the day...and youll be all set for tomorrow!!
