My commutes are a lot less adventuresome than some of you. I seldom get honked at, yelled at or right-hooked and rarely ever see other cyclists. Nice ride this morning. I decided to take it easy and ride at recovery pace because I'm doing a century ride tomorrow. My legs have been kind of tired all week, so I decided to just listen to my body and slow it down, which was kind of hard because the weather was cooler and less humid than usual.

I took my best bike by the LBS yesterday in prep for the century because it was shifting kind of funky in low gear, something that just started last weekend. Good thing I had it checked. The shifter cable was down to one strand in the right front shifter. Also a good thing I have such a great mechanic who will check out my bike on short notice.
