Warm and a bit muggy weather had me sweating pretty good when I got to work. The ride home holds the risk of thunderstorms, so that should be fun!

On the mechanical side, I had had some issues with my chain skipping in a certain gear for the last week. I had changed the chain and adjusted the derailleur but that didn't help, so yesterday I took a good close look at the gears and found that I had a bent tooth which was causing the chain to not feed properly onto the cog in question. I took the cassette apart and bent the tooth back into line. This morning, the problem was gone and the drive train functioned perfectly... like it had just come out of the shop! I think I'm getting better at this wrench-it-yourself thing. Probably would have cost me more than $30 to have the same thing done at my LBS (they seem to like to charge a premium for anything that requires removing the cassette.)
