Dec 21 rides

[OakLeaf]

Red tide's still blowing up, but not as bad as it was when we first got to Florida, and not nearly as bad as people say it's been.

I planned to ride this morning, but it poured down rain - even though it had stopped by the time we planned to meet, I'd already blown off riding, besides I hate the way fine sand sticks to everything when the roads are wet. Sand is bad enough in the dry!

So: waited for the roads to dry off, five miles round trip on the commuter bike for a little Christmas shopping and lunch; left my reading glasses at the restaurant; five miles round trip on the road bike to pick up my glasses and just to shake the bike down for tomorrow's ride after being re-assembled.

It needed a little derailleur adjustment, but handlebars and seat seem to be in the right position and front brake properly adjusted. But getting back on after a hiatus, especially wearing non-padded shorts, I think the seat is definitely too narrow for me. Time to start shopping for a new one!
