Got off to a late start because it was raining although the forecast kept saying it was sunny. By the time I headed out the rain had stopped and the sun was almost breaking through the clouds. Did my flat'ish route along the coast, and made good time with a great tailwind the first 15 miles. Then headwinds the next 10 but didn't mind. What I did mind was the loud cracking noices coming from the bike. So I called BF and had him come pick me up. The bike is now in the shop being inspected. I have a feeling the wheel hubs have finally given in.
