D'oh!

Nice ride this morning @ 50F, and no wind. No cyclists out today! I guess the talk of rain scares away the less adventurous.

Animal sightings: One beaver, swimming. A female cardinal attacking a large worm. The usual herds of squirrels.

My drive train is going south on me, I think. It's getting more and more clicky and noisy. Yesterday I cleaned it and soaked it in (unused) motor oil and it's still making noises. It's the original chain and gears. 20 years old. Not sure how many miles. Way up in the 4 figures, for sure. The teeth on some gears are rounded and worn. The chain is probably stretched obscenely. I'm just not sure I want to spend the money for replacements. Been thinking about a new bike.

Maybe I should go fixed.
