cg1985 - That trucker was a professional. He's probably seen a lot, and enough to know when someone is making an effort and has there witts, as opposed to so many brainless wonders wandering the roads.

It rained my whole ride in. Last night after my ride home I adjusted my rear derailer and cable, and both brake calipers. I was for it this morning. Now I need to adjust my front derailer. My new custom built (by me) bike rack which carries tools and tubes slipped down a little and the screws underneath rubbed against my tires making a whining sound. I thought I wrecked a bearing or something. All it needed was a tug to pull the compression clamps on the fork up a little higher. I guess I have to keep an eye on those. They stayed up but I haven't checked them since I installed it. I think once a day before my ride should be fine. My left knee felt a little weird. I wonder if it was the cold rain.

Anybody wear tights that cover their knees?
