Nice ride home, even with a headwind and heavier-than-normal (but well-behaved) traffic.

The LBS gave my Soho a tune-up while I was at work. They've always treated me really well. (North Star Sports in Burlington - I'll give them a plug.)

The ticking sound I thought was coming from my bottom bracket is gone. The mechanic said the belt was a little bit loose so he tightened it. Maybe that was it. They also checked torque on the various bolts around the back of the frame so maybe one of those was the culprit. I don't care. No more ticking means I'm happy.

I also bought a new rain jacket. My old one was some cheap $20 thing I bought about 5 or 6 years ago and it's just a flimsy shell that was falling apart. So I grabbed a Bontrager Commuter Stormshell.
