Near-perfect weather, but still pretty brutal. This is my 3rd straight go at a 30mile R/T and I have some getting in shape to do. Still, I made it, and the sense of accomplishment on the home stretch always feels great. My bike (Kona Dew, in case anyone has any tips for tuning up this bike) is only 3 weeks old, but I was hearing a squeak at low RPMs and felt a slight grind at times during the downpedal. I think I'm gonna take it to the REI next door to work and have it tuned up during the day for the ride home. Hopefully soon I will be able to diagnose and fix all this stuff myself!
Last year it about killed me to go 13 or so both ways, now I am questioning if it is really a good work out. It does not take long, hang in there.
