Beautiful, challenging ride across the Sierra Alps. Six challenging climbs quite a bit of eleven gain. Tried to go for a fast time but got held back by the usual issues that a seem to keep following me whatever I do. 

First a snapped chain on Ebbetts (again!), this time I had the part to fix it and changed it quicker, bust still costed me 5 minutes or so. Then made the usual Italo dumb mistake on a fast technical descent on Pacific Grade and went into a switchback way to fast, slammed on the brakes (to avoid going over the cliff), locked my rear wheel twice which resulted in a couple of skids, and went down over the bars. Luckily I was going pretty slow by then and didn’t get too many scrapers and bruise. Just a few scratches on my knees, bike, and my shoes. Once I got back on the bike, I realized the bars were tilted, so I dismounted again but I could not make them straight again, so I went for the rest of the ride (about 35ish miles) with a slightly non straight handlebars. The whole thing costed me another 10 minutes or so plus I was now not as confident on the descents and took them a lot slower which costed me more time. 

I’m happy to have finished after all and with a decent overall time. I do need to stop taking spills and going down so often. Plus I need to resolve these mechanical issues I keep having. I’m not sure what I can do for both I’m I’m committed to make it better 😜😂🤞
