@noglider those are great pictures. I always appreciate your posts with pictures it is so different from my commute.

also a great picture @Hardyweinburg

This morning I saw 27.4F on the GPS. I also scared a 2-4 point buck this morning. He took off down the greenway. I tried to keep up but he was moving. I was also afraid he would feel threatened and turn on me.

I had to replace my chain earlier this week and had other commitments yesterday and today are my only two days of riding. The new chain revealed my cassette was worn out. THe bike shop is letting me borrow a cassette until we can order one in next week. My old cassette was 12-27 or 28. this cassette is 11-23 (I think) It is definitely harder to push a 32lb bike around. legs have been tired with ride home and ride in this morning but better to be riding than not. Old cassette got 10003 miles on it. Not bad for a $13 cassette.

This November I have had to replace the chain and now cassette and it needs at least a rear tire (bald)
Last November I put a new chain on as well. November seems to be the month of bike maintenance. I need to start budgeting for this.
