Ah, the proverbial "dork disk." I always rolled my eyes when people reported removing them. They're not there to look at. Still, you've had a bad day. Have a beer on me. Why does stuff always stick in the back tire?

At least your day wasn't as bad as this guy's.

My ride this morning was uneventful but there sure have been a lot more cyclists out this week. I caught a glimpse of something black way behind me and decided to play rabbit. It never caught up. Meanwhile, I reeled in a guy wearing flip-flops riding a mountain bike with a messenger bag. This amused me for some reason.

The heat & humidity is supposed to get up here into Northern Vermont today. Not real excited about that.
