Got in just before the rain, saw plenty of lightening just north of me though. The temp was mid-40's and felt kind of balmy. I felt really strong and my knee wasn't bothering me at all. I didn't hammer but, I moved along nicely, probably averaging around 20 mph. I have to say that I like the new section of trail by the Humpback bridge, it's not such a steep climb coming right after slowing to a near stop. It was nice to watch the rain coming down in buckets from my office window-knowing that it didn't get me this time. My new hubs/wheels are really sweet and seem to have broken in nicely. Since installing these wheels, I'm putting a lot more effort into daily maintenence, hoping to get more life out of them: wiping them down once a week or, immediately after a rainy ride. I'm cleaning/re-greasing the chain more and paying better attention to brake pads; I no longer wear them to nubs and will stop and check for/remove anything that may gouge the rims. Other than that it's business as usual.
