After waiting hours for the roads to dry, and finally deciding I wasn't going to ride, I got a momentary urge at around 1 pm to go, so I went. I felt really sluggish, but did 20. There were still some sections of road that had major puddles which I couldn't avoid. It's not that I don't like wet conditions, but that I didn't really have time to spend cleaning my bike when I have so much other stuff to do. Well, I ended up putting off some more important things on my list, and cleaning both my bikes. Now my Xmas cards will go out late!

I bet my sluggishness was due to how much crud was in my drive train. My jockey pulleys were thick with gunk and there was a lot of sand everywhere. I tired Oakleaf's chain lubing method of just a few drops instead of a drop on each link. Seems good so far!
