Comments: Test ride of Raleigh hybrid with new left crank.

In April of '22 I replaced the bottom bracket. I forgot about Sheldon's dictum to re-tighten cranks a mile after installing them. It took quite a while, but eventually the left crank was ruined. Once that happens, there is nothing you can do but get a new crank. I thought I would have to replace the pair, but I found a 170 mm left crank on the web. It's not as nice looking as the ruined Sugino crank, but it will do.

When I installed the crank last summer, I felt some grittiness and figured the April '22 bracket was toast. (It sat on my shelf for 10 years before I got around to installing it.) So I got another bracket off the web. I researched it pretty carefully to get one that would fit, but it didn't. With other bike options, I could leave it in pieces. Finally, it is back together with the April '22 bottom bracket. It is fine. Grittiness was probably in the chain, which got a badly needed cleaning and some oil. And this time, I made it a point to ride a mile and re-tighten the cranks.

Comments: Haircut. Stopped at La Poteria on the way home. Had a nice chat with Steve, an old-timer from Yorkshire. Noticed a wobble in the back wheel. Surprising, because that's a new wheel Closer inspection shows that the wheel is straight, but the tire isn't. Tire probably doesn't have 1000 miles, but it does have more than 20 years. I'll get some new tires next time I'm at JRA.

Comments: Peru and Keeseville. Breakfast at Rulf's Orchard. Sparkling clear morning. Happened on an old guy on a mountain bike. Peg leg on the right. Said he was coming back from a doctor's appointment in Ausable Forks. I must have heard him wrong. Maybe it was Ausable Chasm or Ausable Point. Came up behind him and said good morning. He was surprised and almost fell. I would have felt terrible if he had. Komoot says my pace was 14.8. That's the fastest I've gone on a single in I don't know how long. This bike is fast.

Comments: Seagull Century metric with L. This is the 19th time we've done it together. Every year since 2003. 2015 was cancelled by a hurricane, 2020 and 2021 scratched by Covid.

We had a pretty fast pace -- 15.6. Last year was under 14. I think the difference is that L. is in great shape. He's been running a lot, lately.

The weather was great -- broken clouds and mid 70's. This was a pleasant development. Just a few days ago, the forecast was calling for rain.

We both stayed last night in Salisbury, and got a pretty early start. Up at 7 and rolling around 9:30. Unlike last years late start, we were in the thick of things today, and finished up about 2:30.

We saw a family of four on a Santana Quad. They were going across the Bay Bridge the same time I was and I saw their bike cut in two (it has S&S couplers) slung across the back of their car. At the time, I thought it was probably a triplet. But no, it was a quad. I was hoping we would see it on the ride, and we did.

We encountered the husband and wife at the second rest stop, before we saw their bike. The husband was wearing a Tour d'Afrique jersey. I asked him if he had really don it. Yes. And so had his wife. In fact, they first met on that tour.
