Commuter Challenge (Page 5)

I got in all 5 commutes last week, but it was tought on my bike...  3 flats, 1 derailleur cable and 1 tire.  Half of it was my fault, I overtightened the clamp screw on the FD and broke a couple of strands on the cable and I didn't notice that the front brake pads were grabbing too high and contacting the tire sidewall...  Good thing it punched through the sidewall before the big downhill instead of on it!

4 days last week without showers...  I really appreciate those showers as a perk now!  It looks like I'll get 5 commutes in this week and the showers are fixed!  Yay!

Wow, that's an amazing ride Bopper!  I managed to get another 5 days commuting in last week to finish off the TdF challenge.  This week is promising to be hot so it'll be an interesting ride home.

Ya, I don't know what happened with Canada's summer this year.  It's like BC and Ont decided to swap weather for a year.  We've got 34c days with high humidity and Ont has rain.  That's just not right!

As for riding 4 or 5 days a week, well...  I made a spur of the moment commitment in the TdF challenge, and I couldn't let my team down!  Now it's become a habit.  Until the rain comes back.  I still don't like coming down the mountain in the rain.
