Enjoyable morning to ride, mid 70s, moderate humidity, the newly re-paved roads are a pleasure to ride. This AM, the lines were getting painted and the paint crew had a "Do Not Pass" truck to stop traffic as they worked. I rode past on the shoulder and had about 1.5 miles of clear road all to myself until the paint crew pulled over to let the cars pass.
All was going well until I was climbing when my rear derailer shifted my chain off the smallest cog on the freewheel. The chain got trapped between the cog and the frame forcing me to come to a stop, flip the bike over and take the wheel off to free the chain. Once everything was tightened back up, got back on the road without a problem. Guess I gotta adjust the RD soon. Kinda considering going to an IGH to eliminate this type problem, but then again I need to commit to riding through the winter for that to make sense.
