Pretty good ride home last night and a decent ride in today. The wind, of course, shifted directions, so it was a headwind last night and a headwind this AM. At least it's cooler!

Left crank arm came loose again on the ride in this morning. Tightened it back up, but this is not the first this has happened. The crankset was off a donor bike at the co-op and was installed less than a month ago after I managed to bend some a couple chainrings on my old crankset. Obviously the replacement was not the best crankset. Luckily, last night, before this even happened this morning, I found out my friend had tracked down an STX RC crankset in very good condition I can use. I plan to get that put on tonight!

That'll be one more upgrade off the list for the LHT build. Seems my current frame is really just a functional repository now for a lot of parts I plan on putting on a different frame soon!
