Well…my lack of motivation is still hanging on so I don’t think I’ll be doing a political one for today…still feel pretty lousy and my stomach is iffy and I wonder if just having a bagel to eat for the day can support two rides? I did do two rides out to the beach today and it is funny that, once you have to pay to use the beach, it is about empty when every other day almost every space is filled…have been having problems with the shifter on the bike the past few days and I wonder if it has sand in it? The 5-6 shift has been hanging up and I have adjusted it a couple of times a day when it normally works once I get it adjusted and never have to touch it again…so I washed the shifter out with the hose before I watered the garden and will see how it works tomorrow…don’t see any frayed shifter cable that would cause the problem but I have never replaced the cable on this bike and it has lots of miles on it so maybe it’s coming apart inside the housing? Should probably take it apart to see but don’t feel like it right now….and I should plant some tomatoes today, too, but don’t feel like doing that, either….so maybe I should declare this a lazy day and just give up…who knows?
