Bummer!!

 It was a super fast day for riders and me!  The wheel had my feet pedaling faster and faster!  I was in my element!!

And then……….
It happened! 

The band on my wheel BROKE!  Flop flop it fell apart!
Bummer!  
Really?!! 
Even though equipment was checked out before the race—alas, there was malfunction!  
Since it’s plastic band, it’s an easy fix
I wanted to continue spinning so switched to E-spinner, but couldn’t extension cord—another bummer
I was loosing time spinning
Repairing the band needs two people and hubby was volunteering.  
As soon as he entered the house, I begged him to help with the band. 
First, get the band around the wheel grooves, I’ll hold the bands together and he’ll apply the heat to melt the ends.  Stuck! Let cool, trim the nylon bits, and we’re off again!!
Think I’ll hook up E-spinner to be ready as back-up
Didn’t achieve my goal for the day 😪😪😪
