Nice ride, felt breezy while I was moving, but calm when I was standing still. Funny how that works.
5/8" chain stretch. I wanted to see how long they would last, wearing the chain and cog together without much maintenance, and TBH I still didn't have a definite objective reason to replace the chain, just a little noise and feeling like I'm pushing it. I'm seriously considering leaving the new chain on the single speed side for 2 or 3 thousand miles and then flipping it to see if it rides ok on the old worn fixed cog again.

Day off today so no commute, but I've got to get out for a ride anyway in this nice weather.
