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: 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

Comments: 0.5 AP. Checked out my front wheel... the sound is still there. It seems to me that the axel is shot. After work tomorrow, I'm going to the LBS here in Eureka for either a repair or a new front wheel. I just can't do a metric century this weekend with that noise.

Comments: 2.0 AP. After work, rode to the LBS in Eureka. They repacked the axle with grease and tightened my headset. Took the bike back on the road and... the thumping noise was STILL THERE!! I'm perplexed. Looked at archived blog on Odd Wheel Noise in BJ. They said to remove the rim tape and shake out any gravel or rust. Tomorrow, I'll go back to the shop and get a roll of rim tape. We'll see if that does the trick.

Comments: 2.0 AP. After work I went to the LBS to get rim tape. I saw in BJ archives where odd noises from wheels may come from gravel or rust bits in the hollow part of the rim. To remove, take off rim tape and shake it out of the rim holes. Well, I did that and also lubed the spokes where they criss-crossed one another to eliminate the possibility of rubbing noises. I even swapped out the tube. THE NOISE IS STILL THERE!!! I guess I'm going to have to suffer through it tomorrow on the Tour of the Unknown Coast. Fellow cyclists will probably avoid me like the plague when they hear that annoying noise.

Comments: 32.0 AP. Great Tour of the Unknown Coast. My cycle computer fell off my bike on a bumpy descent. Rode back about 1/2 mile to find it (St. Anthony came through once again). But, my cycle computer zeroed itself out. So, I had to reconstruct that portion. Plus, I had to reconstruct the mileage of the rest of the ride, because the wheel size went back to default, and I forgot to reset that. Good grief. The good news is that although the thumping noise in the front wheel actually got worse during the ride, during a descent on the Avenue of the Giants, I heard a "snap," and the noise disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared (just like Captain Ron at the end of the movie). Fierce northerly headwind for the return leg of the ride, I hooked up with a couple to paceline back -- thank goodness! Turns out that the guy was commissioned in the Navy from Nebraska NROTC the same year and month that I did from OU NROTC!

They gave away many prizes: gift certificates, lights, other safety equipment, and the grand prize, a $140 flourescent yellow and reflective windbreaker. I had to leave midway through the drawings because of a 1 PM meeting I had to attend. It was fun nevertheless.

Comments: 14.0 AP. Rode to Arcata's Adventure's Edge bike shop for their Saturday ride. One young cyclist, James, had a handlebar moustache nearly like mine. I had a gal take our picture. Rode with the group of about a dozen for 4 miles until we hit the hills. I couldn't keep the pace on my heavy hybrid vs. their carbon fiber road bikes. Broke off and stopped at the Arcata Plaza, where the Farmer's Market was in progress.

Comments: 15.0 AP. Rode with nine other riders plus Carol. Carol departed after several miles. The rest of us headed up to Trailhead Cafe via Horseshoe Bar Road and the back roads behind the market in downtown Loomis. Larry's first ride since his brain surgery. Great people, fun ride, a little on the toasty side as far as temperature. EOM Odometer: 25874

Comments: 16.0 AP. There were a dozen or more riders on this morning's ride. I rode with Ron, the father of Melanie's friend. Great guy. We rode out Rocklin Road to Barton Road with the group, then Ron and I circled back because we each had commitments around noon.

Comments: 4.0 AP. Rode to Sharp Bicycles to look at replacement styles for my defective front tire of the hybrid. The replacement they installed did not have the reflective sidewall. The 700x38c are back ordered until December. So, I'll get a 700x35c.

Comments: 22.5 AP. This was actually a combo ride. I started out with the Sharp Bicycle Shop ride at 8:30, but split off at Del Mar and Taylor. Took Taylor (Historic Route 40) up to Auburn to get Placer County Transit commuter bus passes. Rode Lincoln Hills back (Mount Vernon and Wise Road). On Monday, I'll start a multi-mode commute with bike and bus. It was HOT today. Cycle computer clicked over 26000 mile point (for both bikes) today on Wise Rd.

After the ride, I showered and went to meet Carol at Mary's Pizza ...where Carol had a surprise party waiting for me for my 60th birthday today! Attended by owners, workers, and fellow riders from Sharp Bicycles, fellow church parishoners, friends, and inlaws.
