My Bicycle Musings

Did a little 20 mile jaunt around the lake and running a few errands, like returning a library book, mailing the bills and picking up another carton of cigs at the cig store. Funny how everyone in the cig store looks, well, like they're a million years old. Couldn't be their cigarette smoking, no!

Of course, that didn't add up to twenty so I did the usual forth and back on the "Lake" streets east of Lake Murray Blvd.

I wonder if it is going to rain tomorrow?

I made a little leather pouch the other day to hold the chain tool that I carry in the Schwinn tool bag. Now the tool pouch can roll tighter and the leather protects the tool bag from the pointy parts of the chain tool.

Found this at Big Guy On A Bicycle

"...I can finally know just how far I've been riding my mountain bike. It turns out that the loop that I've long thought was about 8 miles is actually just under 7 miles. I will now be applying the John B. distance rule which states that you always round up to the nearest 10 mile increment. Thus, we rode 10 miles today, instead of 8 or just under 7. I think I like that better. Better still, if I ride 10.2 miles, I've actually ridden 20 miles. I think my mileage will receive a big boost next year."

I like his thinking!!
