This morning I was determined to get a ride in even though the temp was 38 when I left the house. It turned out to be one of the best rides of the season. First, the wind was light for the most part. Second, I had taken the precaution of "layering up". And third, I have my new rear sprocket set and chain running nicely and they actually put on one with a slightly larger low gear so now a few of the hills I used to hate are not a particular strain. Add to all this the bright sun and the ocean views and empty beaches and who could wish for more?
