Recovery ride after yesterday, legs needed that shakeout

First Ride outside since Jan 30th

Was suppose to be Encanto Park ski lifts and back, but after climbing up the back side of GMR onto Baldy Rd the chain started slipping so I tried to change gears and dropped the chain. Pulled over and tried putting it back on, which was no problem but the crank arms would not turn, oh boy, so I started looking at the derailer and pulleys that I just replaced and the chain was off to the side between the two pulleys, tried getting it back in and it kept popping out. Thankfully after few minutes another rider stopped to help me and had a tool to get the chain back into the pulley teeth, tried to adjust gears and out it came again, so we got it in and I had to keep it in big ring and use only a couple of gears on the way back to car. Wasn't happy, as I was holding 265 avg and almost 284 NP on the way up, was looking for PR's but not today. I will say I can feel a diffence in my training since doing bunch of TR indoors the past 3.5 months. Headed over to LenDogs and Bill (mechanic) said the "cage bar" was bent, boy was it when the bike was in the stand. So he was able to bend it back and make a few ajustments. What caused it I haven't a clue, maybe the bike trainer? Now I need to figure out how my new head unit transfers PM data to Cyclo-Sphere account and Strava.

Wanted to get more saddle time as I had to cut the first ride short going up to Mt Baldy, so after Bill fixed my bike I went home and rode up the SGRT to and held pretty good power up, but on the way home I was tired and didn't have enough calories, so I just eased up a little and got through the wind tunnel all the way home to the beach.

Recovery week, rides always feel tough, I think because your riding steady for 90 minutes, where ss and Intervals you get breaks, plus I always feel tired and lazy during recovery time
