Minor Mechanical on the trail...

Recommended Posts

Did an easy-peasy loop from RB to Lake Sutherland via Pauma Valley Rd., Black Mtn. TT and Santa Isabelle TT...saw a group of three and a group of two riders on the trail...they all new the correct / proper etiquette hand signals (number of riders following) when approaching  a rider head-on! :thumbsup_anim: 

Had a weird (to me) minor mechanical issue when going up Black Mtn.TT...

I heard a "tap, tap, tap, clank, clank, clank" sound and pulled over to check it out...my kick stand was down, hitting rocks on the trail and rubbing on the sprocket! :o

Luckily, I had the right "tool" for the job...

It just kind of fell off the bike in pieces...I don't know what happened...I didn't wipe out, etc. so I don't know. Anyway, packed the kicked stand and pieces into the vest and continued on to the top. Nobody there and it was CLEAN. Last time I was up there it was a mess...

See the moon in the upper right of the pic under the branch?

The "trail" leading to the Glider Port has become a "Highway!" Wow...

Down the hill, across Santa Isabelle TT and to the Dam...

Back across Santa Isabelle TT to Pauma Valley Rd. I noticed a VERY nice hiking trail being constructed along the east side of the road...

This sign "explained" what was happening...

Took the Oroscoe Ridge turn for a little shade under a nice Oak Tree...

Probably just had a faulty spring that snapped, then the rest was history.  Nice ride report.
