We did a little Thanksgiving day ride today with 22 mph winds gusting to 50. All was good until we stopped to use the bathroom. I propped my bike against a fence and the wind blew it over. Of course, it fell on the derailleur side. I ended up bending the hanger. My 10 speed cassette is 12-23. I couldn't put it in the 23 because the derailleur was hitting the spokes. And, when in the 21 it kept self-shifting to the 19. So, 15 miles to home in a 22 mph headwind was not fun, especially over the bridges.

I straightened right after lunch. So, all is good.
