Saturday was a "Friday the 13th" for me! Beautiful weather, if you didn't consider the wind. About 55 degrees & sunny. Too nice not to get out on the road. Changed my tires first - had a split on the rear plus a LOT of miles on those puppies. Then decided to give Godiva a good cleaning (needed to get rid of the "mice" that had been accompanying me on the last few rides ). SO offered to help so he removed the chain & cleaned it. Went to put it back on the bike & noticed 1/2 of the removable link was gone (SRAM chain). He found it - teetering on the edge of the drain in the laundry sink! He grabbed some pliers and.......PLUNK! Down the drain...... I handed him his wallet & the car keys & sent him to the LBS to get another link.

Finally got out on the road at about 2:30 - 26 glorious, hilly, windy miles!
