Riding local, riding abroad. Doesn't matter. "One less car" bike commuting and "Bikes Belong" advocacy, plus "I ride solo" bicycle travel. Racing is fun, but there are so many equally great reasons to ride.

Consolation on a back derailleur break day
My planned ride to Pike market was cut short at the Locks by a loose cable problem with the rear derailleur. So typical when I try to learn something new bike mechanical skills. The cable came out of the holding bolt and, though back in, it needs more tightening. I have so much to learn but I know it's practice and more practice. All day I've felt off kilter and it was a real effort to get out at all. I felt uncomfortable back in cleats. At least the double tug pack was a joy. Plus I did achieve something earlier with drafting a route in RidewithGPS.
