Some ups and downs.
Up - went back to the usual hill, did more than the usual number of repeats, felt pretty strong though not really strong, was comfortable pushing up in the big chainring, took a selfie when I was done, came home feeling good and didn't look toooo fat in the pic.
Down - scale read alarmingly high this morning, like into the next range of 10s high, trajectory of poundage is in the wrong direction. Riding to/from work this week I've felt slow and weak. This afternoon's ride home was particularly so, I had to push to catch the "rabbit" in front and later someone passed me.
Up - About two blocks from home I pulled over and looked at my bike. The rear wheel was cockeyed and the non-driveside sidewall was rubbing on the chainstay. I lifted the bike and spun the wheel; it stopped after 1 revolution. This has happened before, the chain pulls the driveside forward. I repositioned the wheel and rode home. The bike is on the stand now; I think I need to give it a careful once-over.
Down/Up? - on Saturday my buddy and I are joining a group ride billed as 30 miles of climbing. I'm concerned.
Trying to make it back.
