Ride in and home Monday was great both ways, except for the flat rear. Picked up a nice, rusty wire nail somewhere - penetrated the Armadillo and the tire liner. And the toob. Leaking slow enough that I didn't notice it till I was almost all the way in, so easy fix in the office. Cranks/BB started creaking pretty bad on the way in - they had been popping for a few days, but I forgot to look into that last week while I wasn't riding.

So last night, researched a bit then removed the crank bolts, greased, and put them back in. Perfect. While I was getting my hands dirty, gave the chain a once over with a bit of lube - amazing the difference!

Ride in today was awesome -first day in my new HHCMF shirt. Didn't really need the headlight with that thing on Got a bit wet - forecast was for "isolated T-storms" - didn't hit anything major on the way in; just enough to cool me down a bit. Never did get my fenders, so hoping that I can dodge the "Few T-storms" that are forecast for later this afternoon. I love the weather.com "hour-by-hour" forecast. Except when it tells me I'll have a 20MPH headwind half my trip home. Which is what it says right now...
