Ride Description:

Out and back and spin on the Comet. I missed yesterday because of rain and slipped in about an hour on the trainer. Today was just getting out for an afternoon spin. I had an early warning of the rear derailleur battery being critical and it lasted most of the way. At some point there was no more shifting, but I was close enough to the end to just cruise back. Once stopped I swapped the front and rear batteries and still nothing. I pulled the spare battery from my front storage box and nothing. I was thinking, "Oh crap the blipbox is gone." Fortunately when I got home I swapped batteries from my road bike and the system worked so it was just 3 dead batteries.
