Friday's ride home was a frustrating endeavor. Legs were a bit tired so I just tried to cruise easy and enjoy the late summer heat. Cruising along the highway and popped the chain trying to get into the big ring. Just some greasy fingers so it wasn't too bad. 1/2 mile down the road something clatters to the ground, look down and see part of my light mount bouncing on the ground. Swung around and picked it up stuffing the light and mount pieces in my pannier. Couldn't wait to get home before something else went wrong.

This morning it was a surprising 61 degrees with mostly clear skies. Decided to wear a light jacket just for the cold in the low creek bottoms. Nice to have a morning ride with the skies clear enough to see some stars. No sandals or bare feet today... canvas crocs to keep the toes warm.
