Brake Rub!

Mott the Hoople

Sweet Jane
I'm an idiot. Not only am I an idiot I'm a wasted idiot. I went out for a training ride on my road bike. I was going to do a 35 mile route with some rolling hills that ussually takes me about 2 hours. Today there was a significant head wind. When I got to the section of my route where the hill start I came out of my saddle to climb the hill and when I did my front wheels quick release came lose and the wheel cantered to the left onto the break pad. I thought I was dying due to the hills, head wind and being a bit out of shape. I road 10 freaken miles with a (expletive deleted) brake rub for I finally got a case of the smarts and stopped the bike and checked the front wheel. By then I was completely blown up and had gone catabolic. Long story short, I turned a 2 hour moderately hard ride into a 3 hour brutalization. I'm wasted. No...I'm a wasted idiot.
