I took the road bike today. I've been taking the mountain bike ever since I started commuting, except for the first day. About 2 miles from work, the bike started to become wobbly and it turned out that the rim of the rear wheel had bent. Some of the spokes were loose and my bumpy ride down the trail probably bent the wheel. My weight may have something to do with it, although I'm losing it somewhat slowly. I spent around $80 at Two Wheels Drive on Central to get the rim replaced. The repair guy did a good job. The gears seem to work better afterwards too. I bought a pair of sunglasses, a bottle cage, and a bottle too.

For whatever reason, TripTrack failed to get started.

The smoke and haze covering the sky last evening was eerie. The wildfire in Arizona is called the Wallow Fire and it has been burning continuously since last week with no containment in sight. According to the news the smoke has reached all the way to Iowa. Ash was falling off of sky last evening. I was little worried about biking to work this morning until I found out that
Jim rode his bike on Monday morning. I thought that Tuesday couldn't get worse than Monday, so decided to give it a ride. This morning was a breeze, but I wonder how the trip back home would be this evening.
