Consecutive bicycle work commute number 2198:

Very pleasant morning. 64°F and a light cross wind.

High temp today is supposed to be 89°F, so summer hasn't completely left us.

Dropped my chain twice switching from the small ring to the big ring. That's annoying and I haven't figured out how to solve this issue. Some days I have no problems, and others (like today) it plagues me. When this happens the chain likes to hang up between the lower ring and the bottom bracket, preventing the pedals from turning. That makes it so I can't use the old trick of moving the front derailleur to a higher gear and pedaling the chain back on to the ring. Thankfully on my road bike I use wax for lubricant so when I stop and fix it my hands don't turn into a greasy mess. I've also fixed it so many times that once I'm off the bike it's literally 10 seconds or less to get the chain back on the ring.

After today it's supposed to rain the rest of the week, so I may be on my hybrid bike with fenders for the first time since June 3rd.
