That Hit n Run GoPro thread goes to prove one thing, there's a little bit of A&S in all of us.

I successfully drove across the city, and home from the city. I waited 3 1/2 hours in line, for a 10 minute drivers license renewal. I watched people pick up their number and know they'd be there for that long. Nothing. That's what we do here; we wait. And we're not burdened with the hurry up part.
Arriving home, I'm feeling pretty normal.
But I won.t ride til next week.

Last night was my first full on blowout/instaflat, gunshot sound and then riding on the rim. Good thing I wasn't going too fast at the time.

Commuted on the steel bike today to check that the new stuff was working ok. Dropped the chain once. Adjusted fd lower limit. Then on the way to lunch my rd cable came undone. Had to Uran my way back home. Guess I didn't tighten it enough. Now it seems to be shifting fine though. Hope that doesn't happen again during my group ride tomorrow.

I just read that an August mountain century ride that I was thinking about doing is cancelled. 
Why even bother anymore?

Have been using EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM on Canon 7D for years but have to stop when it gets dark.

For the PA guys, we rode from the Spooky Nook rec center near Manheim and wound around to some town like Lititz where there was a chocolate factory. Other than that, you'd have to look at my Strava map to see where we went.
No idea where we're going to tomorrow. Wherever they send us.
