I like it gloomy!
Posted On Wednesday, August 25, 2010 at at 7:59 PM by MTB ManIt's been a couple of gloomy days but I like gloomy. Today was especially nice as it didn't rain on me but it was dark gray and perfectly still.
I guess there's a peacefullness and quietude about it that I like. Not that I don't also like a bright sunny day.
There were still a few people out riding but you don't find as many. I like that solitude too. It's even better when it is raining. I used to like to get suited up and walk for miles and miles in pouring down rain. There's not likely to be anyone else out and about! ;-)
I tweaked my high gear limit screw on the rear derailleur a couple days ago because I was still dropping the chain into the rear dropout. Very annoying as I have to take the wheel off to free it.
It's been good. I tightened up on the cable and turned the screw in a quarter turn or so.
So far my rear tire has been holding air too. So far so good.
Sometimes my GPS will put me in Canada but most of the time it's been ok.
Nothing epic today. Usual 15 mile ride (Dunkin' Donut) after work.
I was really going to take it easy cause I've had a big headache all day but ... I didn't. I didn't go all out but I did do a couple sprints. But guess what? No headache.
