I am officially the biggest wimp evar. I have 9 miles and it takes me 60 min... I was using the mountain bike as an excuse but now I can't do that anymore... sigh.
Today was lovely - first time I've gone the full distance with Sir Lancelot (1984 Raleigh). I think I'm getting the hang of the friction shifting, and wow is that bike ever lighter than my Norco Pinnacle! I was taking it easy and still took a couple of minutes off my time.
The only problem was that evidently I didn't tighten the seat nut enough after adjusting the tilt last night. I had to ride the last mile and a half kind of perching on the seat and trying not to get tipped off backwards! Off to beg a wrench and some Loc-tite from the maintenance guys...
