A chilly 6C/43F this morning, sunny and calm. Pretty soon, 6C will seem warm!

Recently on my beater bike, the chain has had trouble staying on the big ring - would periodically slip down to the middle ring. Yesterday seemed to be a tipping point, and I couldn't get it to stay on the big ring at all. I thought maybe the front derailleur needed adjustment, but when I got down to check, it turned out to be a very badly stretched chain. Won't mesh with the gears anymore, just kinda floats near the top of the teeth.

Yup, I'm one of those...ride it 'til it breaks, then wonder why I have such bad luck.
