I started out to do a ride on my road bike this morning that included a couple very large hills. I was in a lot of wind and some rain and some hail. I've been having some problems with my bike skipping in and out of gear and it just got a whole lot worse. I had to go home early and only got in 8.5 miles. I got a new gear cluster for the rear and a new shift cable. I ended up busy all day and didn't get another chance to ride until after nine pm. I went for about 1/2 hour and got in another 9 miles. I wanted to do more but it got to dark and I don't have a light. I came home, put the bike away, changed and went out for a 5.5 mile run. I didn't get back till nearly 11 o'clock. There was a bright moon and it was very calm. It was nice. I did underdress though as I wore just shorts and a long sleeve tech shirt. The temp. got down to 35 by the time I got home. 8:38 pace. |
