Nice, easy ride today. On the way home, I got to pick up our new team kit, which was delayed quite a bit because of the ol' covid. Lookin' sharp.

That has been granting us the unique opportunity to see every single WV game so far this year on OTA TV however.

Did I just buy the wrong chain? I put this on, but now it sounds like my chain is rubbing agains something when I pedal and I have verified that it is not.
I sized it following park tool using the largest chain ring and largest cog but somehow screwed that up to so now it’s too short.

I read somewhere that chains these days are sometimes asymmetrical. Not as severely as the SRAM flat-top chains for their 12speed groups, but with cutouts on one side but not the other. The recommendation is to see if there's stamping on one side but not the other, and the stamping should be visible from the drive side. I have NO idea whether yours is like that, because I use KMC chains.
I didn’t know if the noise was due to the chain being cut to small or if the chain was too narrow or something else. I can shift large chain ring large sprocket but the derailer is stretched out to far.
Question number two, can I add a link back to this chain?

Then make sure it's facing the right way.

Just back from a neighborhood walk with mrs datlas. We were walking side-by-side, and after several minutes she said the she had been matching my pace but it was too fast.
I think I half-wheeled her, but I don't know what you call half-wheeling on a walk. Maybe an expert walker knows?

I would suggest pics before you do something drastic. I have mis-fed the chain through the RD cage so that the chain goes outside the cage for a small section, and it makes a very loud noise. That's the prime suspect. A chain that is "too short" would be typically be fine in small chainring up front so I am not thinking that's it.

So this is the first issue, I am hoping that If I reroute it then everything will be fine. But this chain has a master link and I do not have the tool or pliers to open it.

I have not used the newer Shimano master links, but most of them you can compress by hand and open them. Or use a needle nose pliers if need be. Give it a try?

Tonight, however, it was past sunset and they were still buzzing around. Some of them kept landing in a five-foot radius of the nest, walking around. Not behavior I recall from seeing nests in the past.
There was a dead leaf (#Autumn) partially covering the hole. I wonder if I blew it there the first time I passed the nest, and that disrupted normal activities? #NatureAnalysis

Although, once, at a cross country camp I ran for high school runners in the mountains of WV, there was a big yellow jacket nest right next to one of two main trails that we used on daily runs. First day of camp, we were getting lit up. That night, all the coaches pile in a van and drive down a dirt road to use the headlights to illuminate the trail for immolation of the nest. Another coach, he a professional fire fighter, and I move in, pour white gas down the nest hole and ignite the fuel. We forgot to clear leaves and deadfall away from the nest area and we started a wee bit of a forest fire that we were able to douse after about 10 minutes of frantic kicking of dirt and clearing debris. I am sure we looked like the biggest idiots ever during the panic and we still laugh heartily about that night, 15 years after the incident.

Or you could remove the bottom RD pulley and squeeze the chain around the tab, then reassemble.

Not when the crops are out and it's 25ºF with a 20 mph wind blowing across that flat as a board prairie. That's when you have to pick your routes very, very carefully..
Today wasn't too bad with the 15-18 mph SW wind. At least it was a pleasant 70-80º.

... and this is why I inspect tires after every ride. It also likely would have kilt a GP5K. Fortunately, this was the semi-squared rear, so I put a new one on the front and rotated.
