Uh, 'ello I always promise to participate in this forum more.. but seldom get a chance. Left the house at 0530 this morning after getting about 60 minutes of sleep from the thunderstorms that rocked from 1am-5am. Lots of traffic lights out but no flooding or debris to note. Left for home at 2pm thunderstorms on my tail, hot, humid and sticky! I got home in time to clean my bike and spread some mulch before the storm hit.

I had the LBS put a 16t rear cog (freewheel) on my bike this week... not a big jump up from 42 x 17, but enough to make me feel some burn in the ol thighs again and increase my average speed to 14ish.
