Today looked like rain (but it didn;t. ) Large grey clouds covered the sky. There was no wind, except perhaps a light tailwind on the way in.

I felt so good, I decided to take the long way home. No wind then, either! It was a great ride, I did hit one nasty bit--the road had been torn up in a few large, dark patches that I hit on a fast downhill. Fortunately (shocks and fat tires!) my bike took them pretty well. There was a patch of gravel later on the flat, but I knew about that.

I have to try to remember to tighten my kickstand tomorrow. It was clanking annoyingly against the pedal, and I didn't dare to kick it away too quickly, because a few days ago it really scared me by rattling against the spokes. (I didn't know what it was, and thought I had a broken spoke....something I don't really know how to deal with.)
