Well…slept okay last night and didn’t get out of bed until after 7 so I call that a good night…and I feel okay this morning other than the allergies and my finger but I did that to myself so I can’t really bitch about that….it is starting to be pretty dark in the morning and pretty soon it will be the determining factor that controls when I get out on the bike….along with the temp and it’s going to be a fleece morning today since it’s only in the mid 50′s and that is going to be normal from now on….can’t believe how beat up my hands look after working on the cables on the bike yesterday….they are pretty frayed and I think I stuck every finger with the strands…hope the rear one on the black bike lasts until I get new ones for it…will probably order the parts today but I want to get the rides in first to see if the higher gear is what I want for the grey bike….I’ve wished for just one higher gear since I bought the first mountain bike many years ago and this crankset has 6 more teeth than the grey bike and should make a difference…and with the second gear being higher, too, I think it will be more usable…but, with riding the same route every day, I know what gear I should be in with the old crankset…..will have to figure out the new one…and it will be nice to be able to pedal as hard as I want again without skipping…not much to do today…just going to ride and start taking the garden out after I pick the last of the tomatoes…and I do have a political one to do after I do the first ride….more later…
