Nice ride in, I showed the bike a little love last night and it seems to have paid off. I removed the wheels, wiped everything down, lubed the brake and shifter cables, cleaned the cable guide on the underside of the bottom bracket and lubed (made a huge difference, I had been having shifting issues and thought it was the rr. der and/or cable), inflated tires, etc. The ride was smooth and fast. I need to factor in some time to strip the bike down completely and tune up/clean/etc, this is not the time of year to be off the bike though. Should be low 70's for the ride home.
