On the way home yesterday I kept hearing a squeaking. Adjusting the breaks didn't do anything, so I stopped. I figured out that a couple of spokes were loose and the front wheel was wonky enough so the tire rubbed on the inside of the fork. I didn't have a spoke wrench with me, but taking the wheel off and turning it around made it not rub, even though it was still wonky. Once home I tightened the spokes and got the wheel as true as I can. I also cleaned the bike up a bit, aired up the tires and lubed the chain.

Quiet and smooth ride this morning. I did get caught in some rain on the way home. Worst part was sloshy socks and shoes. A slight sprinkle coming in this morning, just enough to keep me cool. However the road grit always seems to cling to my legs more when road is wet.
