Ride Description:

When the bike sounds like crap it makes me feel like my riding is like crap. I forgot the last ride was in the wet and forgot to clean and lube the drive train. Fortunately I was solo so no one else was annoyed by the squeaking and grinding of the chain. 

Best thing was enduring the direct headwind on the 36 mile return. Most of it I endured okay, but some of it kicked my rump and some of it about knocked me off the bike.

I loved it though. It was great to get out for a solo on the Felt, tuck in aero and see if any of my fitness is starting to come back. In a summer kit none the less.
