Lousy weather on yesterday's ride home, cold, windy, big, heavy drops of rain-the worst of winter. I stopped under the 14 th street bridge for a break, hoping to wait out the rain, but that didn't happen. I was surprised to see another rider so I quickly caught up and let him be my rabbit for a while. He was a fellow Surly rider-cool, I admired his ride and told him as we split. This morning's ride was much better but my right knee was bothering me. I've been concentrating on rehab'ing and strengthening my knees and legs, hopefully this is just a bit of tendonitis. Good news is that my Nashbar order is here and I'll install my new headset, replace brakes and bar tape, and put on my 700x30c Kendas to get the bike up to speed for winter.
