Broken pedal(s) ride
Well, our intentions were noble. Claire and I hopped on our bikes with Mathilda in the trailer behind me. We headed out on our favorite loop out Westside Road, etc. About 6 miles into it, my left pedal broke. Nothing catastrophic, but just a little snap as the pedal body separated from the spindle. I have been waiting for this to happen since they are a pair of inexpensive clipless pedals that I have probably overused. The rest of the way home I just had to concentrate on keeping the pedal together and everything was just fine. When we got back home I ran into the house and grabbed another left pedal which I had sitting around. Claire didn't feel like going out any further, so I decided to go ride over Sweetwater. When I got part way up the hill outside Rio Nido, my right pedal decided to break. I turned around there deciding that it just wasn't in the cards for me. Here is a link to my ride.
