I love riding the Poto, it is by far the best trail in the entire southern LP.  It just always seems like something goes wrong there.  I’ve locked my keys in my car.  No matter how perfectly my derailer is tuned at the start of the ride, it always stop shifting right about halfway through.  Today was no different.

Aside from the rainy conditions which I pretty much accepted since I started in the rain, things seemed to be going ok.  Then I looked down and my computer was gone!  WTF!?  I did finally find it after backtracking a mile or so.  Finally my drivetrain starts making some very unhealthy sounds after becoming caked in sand.  Not sure what the exact problem is, but it is not good.  So after a loop and a half I decide to call it a day.  I had hoped to do more but I didn’t want to take the chance of seriously damaging something.
