13 riders showed up at the park & ride off of Page Mill Road and I-280 for the Kings Mountain Ride. The ride covered 31.5 miles and 3100 feet of climbing
Fellow rider TonyC developed mechanical trouble during the ride. The mechanical issue he experienced was quite unique, it was a frozen freewheel. His bike was now practically a fixed gear. The only way he was going to be able to ride back after reaching the top of Kings Mountain was to spin all the way back. I held back with him and barked at him like a lunatic coach trying to tell him to keep pedalling every time I saw the chain loom closer to the top of the chain stay and wheel. We managed to make it back safely to the start.
