Well, except for the ride home yesterday. Halfway through a busy intersection, my chain broke! I had to coast/wheelchair it the rest of the way, with the chain dragging several feet behind me. G** D*** that's embarrasing. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, because the chain was actually stuck between the low gear on the r. der. and the spokes. Whether that was the cause of the break or the result of it, I have no idea. It took me a few mins to fix at the side of the road and I was on my way.

What sucks is that up to that point, I was having a really good run; I managed to hit 50 on a straight section where I usually top out at 40, and was set to arrive home in record time (for fall, anyway). Ah well.
