Today was the first time I have been able to ride all week. My ride has been in the LBS for repair. I paid $20 for someone to replace a $0.75 part. I'm ready to start learning how to do my own repairs. A thought for a different thread… I digress.

This morning was not as much light at 7:00 a.m. as there used to be… So, I get out my lamp, secure it to my handle bar, ride down the first hill, and stopping for traffic I break the lamp into a hundred pieces. My weight was on the left side of the bike and the front wheel was turned to the right. This along with not holding the break allowed the front of the bike to crash into a pole smashing my light into a hundred pieces. But, I digress.

This morning was a wonderful 72 degrees with no wind and little humidity. It felt great to be riding again. Have a great day!
