Hang in there, Hardy. Get well soon.

That makes my minor equipment issue seem really minor!

When I started out this morning, I was getting a noise everytime I pushed down on the left pedal. I tightened up the bolt that connects the pedal to the drivetrain, and it went away. 2 miles later, it started again. When I got to work, I tightened it back up as hard as I could. I hope that solves the problem, otherwise it might be a trip to the Bike Dr.

The ride itself was otherwise beautiful - fresh legs and perfect weather.
