Comments: 6.5 AP. Today was a series of little rides: to church, then to a tour of a tall ship that is visiting Eureka, then to a Sheriff Dept flare demonstration, then to the Samoa Smokehouse for lunch, then to the marina, then back home. A fun day!

700c Hybrid
League of American Bicyclist
Comments: 30.5 AP. This was the TOUGHEST RIDE of my life. In the mountains, and over 17 miles of dirt/gravel roads. The first time that I had to use my "walking" gear, numerous times, on my hybrid. My commute tires were no match for the loose gravel. Fell off my bike once and got road rash and a "shiner on my thumb. Got lost and added an extra 6 miles as a result. Left home at 10:49 and returned at 21:46. Glad I had my lights. No cell service in the mountains, few farm houses, and nearly zero motor vehicles. Had to stop at a farm house for water refills of my two water bottles. Got warned by a driver (former mountain bike magazine writer) about the "growers" (read: pot) who don't have any respect for outsiders. This as it was getting dusk. Oh yeah, he said "the summit is 4 miles from here, then it is all downhill to Eureka." Fortunately he was right.

Comments: 0.5 AP. My slowest commute ever. Legs and body still recovering from my brutal ride on Saturday. Also, I heard a thunk, thunk, thunk coming from my front wheel. Stopped a couple of times to look at my tread and at my rims to see if something was rubbing the pavement or brakes. Couldn't find anything. So, back at the apt, I reset the wheel in the fork with the quick release. I tested it in the parking lot, and didn't hear the culprit anymore.

Comments: 1.0 AP. Cycle computer did not pick up the entire mileage, so I interpolated. Also, that nagging thump, thump, thump from the front wheel is still persistent. Deflated and reinflated the tire and reseated it in the fork. Still there.

Comments: 4.5 AP. A ride to stretch my legs on my LeMond Sarthe. On the way back, two sheep were crossing Wildcat Blvd, stopping traffic. They escaped the grass-eating herd. I got off my bike, played a "good shepherd" and a traffic cop, and herded them back to the herd.

Comments: 0.5 AP. Trip to the dollar store for bread & cookies. Before the trip, I removed the front wheel, deflated it completely, reseated, and pumped back up. The thump sound was still there. Opened the brakes to see if it was a rubbing against them. Thumping was still there. So, upon return home, removed wheel and oiled the axle. Also noticed that my head tube was loose. No tools available here, so I hand-tightened it as best I could. Let's see if that cures the thumping tomorrow. Happy birthday to Panache! EOM Odometer: 25632
