I did ride. It was cold. Very cold. I wore my facemask which I only wear when it's really cold. I couldn't find my toe covers and I really, really missed them!!

My rear brakes were off center and dragging so I had to stop and center them. I got going again and as soon as I shifted they were off center again. I can't stand that dragging sound. Plus it was too darn cold to keep stopping. So I ended up turning back. At least I got in 13.42 chilly miles.

I decided that rather than fiddle with it myself, that in was time for a tuneup. My bike has never had one. So my bike is happily at the LBS and now I'm in where it's warm. I'll be without for a bit because apparently everybody else has decided to get their tuneups now too.
