I remember having a creak that the LBS traced to aluminum seatpost clamp and titanium rails. Applied some goo and the creaking went away.
I get so used to bikes making some noise or other that riding Deadman yesterday was eerily quiet. The only sounds were wheels on pavement, my breathing, and of course my tinnitus.

We painted houses if it wasn't raining too hard and it wasn't too windy also.

oof. I need to do more cycling. went to get coffee at a not so local cafe. had a moderate headwind there. took a slight detour home and even with the tailwind most of the way home I still feel knackered. at least the coffee, and the peanut butter cup was good.

I might finish something in the rain if there's not much left. But no for longer periods. It's pretty miserable, and the grass gets slippery. And on the rider, it can tear damage the lawn.

Did a couple of laps on a course I hadn't previously driven on the racing sim today - Bilster Berg. That is one crazy roller coaster of a track!!!

Are we supposed to insert our own mileage on the east-west spreadsheet?

eh calling for rain tomorrow. I don’t have a proper rain kit. My wind breakers are all water proof, but they trap heat.
Bugga, I don’t have anything to cover my shoes with either. Winter booties it is.
This is a lot of unfortunates for a short ride.

took the wife test driving new cars today.
I learned that basically any brand car is going to cost me 10 thousand more than I wanted to spend.
And the used car version is going to cost even more.
Wife is not happy at the moment.

I have updated the standings going into the weekend, and the East Coasters have a solid lead.
543 - 307
gnome may have another 76 miles for the latter, but I couldn't see his activities to check for fake miles.
