now this is a problem...

On a side note I'm kinda in a dilemia with my Cannondale after Monday nights computrainer course as after the spin-ups to max rpm ( i reached 167rpm on all three) I noticed my left crank arm loosening up...I stop 5 minutes later to tighten snug fit up to finish but in the last 5 minutes cool-down the retainer bolt worked out and fell out...I snugged it in again before I left but when I went to check/repair the bike last night I was not happy to see I fractured all the way throught the Grafton aluminum left crankarm at the taper square connection point...I provided picture links below of the carnage:


Now I'm still waiting for my new bike to be built both its gonna be another week or so.....so I maybe missing cycling class next Monday night because its too dangerous to ride on a fracture crank arm...boy I have got some serious cabin fever going this long winter in Chicagoland ;-)
