It was just supposed to be a "Test Ride" to verify that I had the front derailleur adjusted correctly. I only had to tweak the inner limit screw just a touch.
Well, a couple hours later when I came rolling into the driveway I was shocked to see that I had ridden just over 24 miles. I spent a lot of time just tooling around residential neighborhoods, and probably spent close to 45 minutes in a neighboring cemetery. I stopped to visit my daughter's grave, tried stalking some wild turkeys but they wouldn't come out of their bushes and I didn't feel like getting them all wound up by flushing them out, and just tooled around and took some pictures.
After leaving the cemetery I just plain old lost track of time and rode around a bunch of residential tracts. It was a great day, oh...the derailleur works fine.
Here's a couple of pics
