After seven days of riding my mountain bike I am back on my road bike. Yesterday after I finished riding my mountain bike my right shoulder muscles were so sore I could barely move my arm let alone lift it over my head. I suspect I was pulling on the handlebar harder than I realized. Thankfully after a night sleeping the soreness has almost went away. So riding my road bike did not cause the soreness to return and my left leg did not cause a problem either.<\/p>\n

As forecast the weather was a little warmer than yesterday with 80 degrees when I finished the ride. Cloudy skies covered the sun almost the full time but it did peek through a few times. Along with the sun at one point some large rain drops fell on me and I was hoping I was going to ride away from them. I did that and no more rain. This was a good thing because there was no where to get out of the rain if it did fall. I would have got soaked. The wind was 14 mph from the SSE but I was able to ride into it and not get real bogged down. Tomorrow there is a 70% chance of rain around the middle of the day. I may not get to ride if this happens.<\/p>\n

A problem has started with my chain slipping when I am in the 43 x 13 and 43 x 12 gears (maybe in 43 x 15as well) whenever I put a lot of pedal pressure on. I am thinking my chain may have too many links and the rear derailleur cannot wrap the chain tight enough. I will remove some links and see if this helps. Park Tool Company<\/strong><\/a> has a page on their website that covers how to determine the correct length.<\/p>\n

Now that I am back on my road bike the daily miles has moved north of 20. Today’s route was 25.27 miles<\/strong>. It was nice to get the average speed up as well to 15.2 mph and the max speed was 23.7 mph without going down a hill. The 14 mph wind helped though. November miles are now 234.82<\/strong> and year to date I am at 5218.32 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
