One inch or less. Which means we might not have any on the ground.

She's organizing and promoting cyclocross racing again. Some of the ladies I know became good friends with her.

Great to hear Dorothy is getting CX going in So Cal again. She's been one of the driving forces of that group for as long as I can remember, and is an awesome force in the cycling community. I have vivid memories of Jeff out-sprinting me for the final podium spot in the last CX race I did - lol.

Question.
I was getting the C2 dressed for possible early ride tomorrow. I picked it up and was rotating it around on the back wheel while holding the handle bars and I noticed the steering felt a little different. It was also creaking when I turned the bars.
Last time I rode it, the conditions were rainy and wet. I cleaned it off but not over aggressively.
I have had issues with the head set play so I know I took it apart about a month ago, cleaned and repacked it with grease. Might have tightened it a touch more than I should have to try and get the play to go away.
Anyways should I be concerned? Should I back some pressure off? Could it be just from the nasty conditions the last time I rode?

We've only been married a bit over 3 years. So not quite LSS yet.
