So, how was the commute today?

Mine wasn't too bad until I had an a$$clown tap my back tire with his bumper at a signal. This is the third incident I have had at this intersection, so I am taking a new route tomorrow morning as these close calls are getting on my nerves.

Fall is certainly right around the corner! It was forty degrees when I stepped out of the garage, but there was the definate tang of wood smoke on the breeze. I love that smell.

I chickened out and didn't ride because it was so dark and rainy. A few more days of this and my hybrid will be set up in the basement for exercise purposes on the wind trainer. oh, the long dark winter nights of seattle!

There I was riding along, trying to hurry and suddenly there was the sound of my rear fender rubbing against the tire. The rear rack had come undone! Someone , namely me, hadn't tightened up the fasteners or checked them after removing the rack and reinstalling it about a month ago. Some of the fasteners are lying on the road somewhere between home and work or if I'm really lucky they're on the floor of garage. Luckily I had one bungee cord in my trunk bag and was able to loop and hook it so that the rack was back in position. The whole adventure only added about 5 minutes to my commute.

Lesson learned: Periodically check the rack mounts for tightness.
