One of those weeks...

So training this month has shifted to all bike for an up coming MS150.  In order to put good mileage in, I've been trying to commute more to and from work.  This week, the trip stats are 4x trips in 1x trip home...

Monday: Trip in, Trip home, wondering at the unseasonably cool weather.

Tuesday: Trip in, sag home (weather and a concerned SO)

Wednesday: Trip in, sag home: shredded rear tire (there were spots where the sidewall was missing...)

Thursday: New tire on the commuter, I set out once again.  8mi from the house there is a sharp "Ting" sort of noise, and all shifting on the front rings went away.  Rather than ride the last 12 to the office, I rode the 8 back home.

Friday: Now with new cables and a new rear tire, I'm not sure what will come... but it's been one of those weeks.

Just thought I'd share incase anyone else has had similar.
