WHY DID THE CHICKEN BREAKAWAY? - sponsored by Knog

November 12, 2019 • TODD BROWN


WE HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE WALL 40 RIDERS STRONG.

I was 10 guys back.

Then 5.

With 100 meters to go, at the steepest point, I was 2nd wheel ... 

Hot damn!  I must be riding really good today.

At the apex I peeked back, expecting to see the usual handful.

Instead, I saw all 40 glued to my wheel.

Through misty breath gasps it was easy to note they weren't even working.

Then it hit me.

Earlier in the ride, they'd been a little frisky at the regroup... leaving the stragglers behind (I'd know). 

Being the mother hen, I took it upon myself to make very, very clear that's not the way we ride this time of year.

Yes, while I was "proudly" summitting... they timidly followed their elder.

How could I be so mean?

I feel just awful.

The only way I can make it up to 'em is by offering this amazing light for a smoking deal...

I won't remind them how I feel about their many weak and worthless taillights...
I've caused enough trauma for the day...
Who the heck lets The Old Diesel beat 'em on the climb?  Poor little chickies.

Use code BADDIESEL to save 25% if you want to take advantage of me in an emotionally vulnerable moment.

It's good on all the KNOG products for the rest of the week - Note, these ship FREE about a week after order is placed.
