    I decided to ride my bent to church
    I decided to use a bike path to get up the hill it was fine. but I almost rode off, had to unclip, and then could not get started again.
    So I did some hill climbing practice, and discovered My Rear Derailleur was out of adjustment.
    I did my make it there, and our new priest pronounced my bike "uber-cool".(I was also pronounced his most "green" parishioner)
    I decided to go by Alberston's to pick up some stuff. Jiffer was going the other way an said but I couldn't take my hand off the bar to wave back.
    and then I had to cut short so I could get home and call my family.
    Hopefully, everyone else had a better ride.

    Went mountain biking until I had catastrophic failure! A bolt broke on my seat post and I had to hoof it back to the car. DH stayed and rode longer while I took the bike to the LBS. The crappy thing is we took the camera but didn't take any pictures and also it was a gorgeous day! I got about 7 miles in but had planned about 9 or 10.

    I felt like going to church too this morning, so I cut the club ride short, only did 29 with the boys (well, 22 with the boys, 7 solo to get back home). Then 2 on the commuter bike to church. The church installed a bike rack over the summer! (so I'd quit parking on the sidewalk I think - but once in a while someone else rides to church, which is new - for my first 4 years here I was the only one.) Then DH and I rode to a craft show, another 8 miles RT.

    Sorry you guys were having all the mechanicals!

    It was a pretty sunny day and I just HAD to go ride. I did a smallish ride, 17 miles or so, and felt great considering I've hardly ridden in the last 4 months.
