Default Excuses for being dropped

Heard an excellent excuse for been dropped from the bunch today, apparently true.

"I put my pants on back to front"

What other excuses have you heard for been dropped from the bunch ?

Come on, you can do better than that

"I went back to help another rider" (despite that all riders were in the bunch)

This is where other riders (not you) cannot maintain the pace of the other riders riding togther in the pack and get left behind.

That situation it's hypothetical and does not exists, in the real world what some times seems as somebody it's "being dropped" what really occurs is that everyone but you got in the break :-)

That's what a friend says every time he is dropped from the pack.

HAHA. I love it! Everyone got in the break apart from me! I'll unapologetically use that one!

my brake pad was rubbing against the rim ., why is it that half way up a hill certain rider's brake pads mysteriously take it upon themselves to rub against the rim!

Default Re: Excuses for being dropped

my chain used to drop over the big ring and onto the crank, when I changed up...so I would tell them I lost my chain momentarily.
But after I had replaced the front derailleur (the adjusting screws on the old one had seized), that excuse didn't wash any more...
