Nice tailwind meant I was able to easily cruise at 18-20 mph for much of my ride in to work this morning. Of course, I have a feeling the wind will be blowing the same way on the ride home, so I'll get a good workout. :-)

Did a little bike maintenance over the weekend and was able to mostly straighten out the big chainring on my bike (which had been bent a few weeks ago). I figured I was thinking of replacing the crankset anyway, so the worst I could do was permanently mess up the big chainring, which was already unusable anyway. Think I may have bought some more life for my drivetrain for the moment... i.e., more time to save up for either a better drive train and/or the Surly LHT I so lust after... :-)
