Saturday Ride

Middle Road and North

Temperatures were in the low 40s by ride time, the sun was out, and the sky was (mostly) blue. Rode with Stuart and Chris, and it was good to be out enjoying the day with them. A few of the hills felt hard. At least it’s (really) early in the season.

I swapped out the cranks and bottom bracket on the Bianchi, and I was glad to have the compact. Riding 39×23 up some of those hills would have killed me. The bike felt really good today. I put on my 25mm Conti tires, and made a few cockpit adjustments. I think the cassette and chain could be replaced, given the skipping in a few gears, but otherwise, the bike felt good, and comfortable.
