After spending yesterday ambling about with wifey, I rode a bit (only 55 miles) and wrenched a bit today (repacking front hub bearings).
The riding was fine!! The wrenching.....well, I guess I need thinner cone wrenches for the Shimano Deore Hubs on the T.E.
I'll take it out for a nice long ride tomorrow and see if the hub stays relatively well adjusted. It's got a worn cone so a trip to the LBS will be in order anyway...they may just get a job repacking all my bearings too.
As for you getting lost....I am quite easily amused so getting lost is often my favorite part of any journey!
