Did not know that. I am meeting Cliff at 7 am to get his pair of park tool pliers. Hopefully this will take me a short time and I can get a ride in. I am hoping the chain length is fine, it will be nice not having the chain slap when I am on my smaller chain ring. Appreciate the help today.

I had a nice nap. Should I start a thread in the 50+ forum and ask if that's ok? The last guy who said he wanted a nap after his rides was soundly chastised and basically told he was near death and had better get to a doctor stat. He was actually a physician but the teeming masses demanded he get checked out anyway.

Slow and steady wins the race completes the brevet.
Couldn't help but do a few laps on the velodrome the route passed by:
And nothing quite lifts the spirit like the sudden appearance of Lake Michigan at mile 110

Not enough that we eradicate non-human species through habitat destruction caused by human overpopulation and enslave innocent, sentient beings in prisons called zoos. When they infrequently embrace a chance at freedom, we gun them down. Our species is doomed.

Here's some football for you since KSU highlights are unavailable. Second longest winning streak in America.

If I was legitimately nearby I would stop by. But I don't get out much. I rarely make it to Chattanooga, even.

I have successfully used needlenose pliers to open those, BUT success was hard won, at the cost of bloodblisters. The pliers not only pop those open, they can also be used to fully extend those so you don't have to do the brake/turn cranks thing.

Kudos. Did you Strava it? I did not see it when I checked.

Our furthest point by linear distance from the home dock was Smith Cr. near Pt. Lookout at the mouth of the Potomac, i.e., about 60 nautical mi. However, it takes well over 100 miles of sailing to get there. We went to many other places on the way there and back, including two nights at the dock to sit out a wet front.

First ride in two weeks today. Not setting high expectations.
