Had trouble with my shifting as I biked 20 km out and back; it rained

Wheels of Happiness





I had trouble shifting especially at small chainring and small sprocket.   I fixed it as soon as I got home where I had the tools and bike stand.  Found out:

     1.   The jockey wheel was all ready dirty;

    2     The rd was loose;  the bolt attaching it to the frame was loose. I just tightened it 6 mm.   Everything was back to normal

I met Gerry on the way at 6: 10 am.   He was waiting for Jess.

I biked to Km 47, had bfast at simples,   Met Master and had shop talk with him for 10 mins.  Then went home via Cardona diversion.  I met Louie on the way up, but he stalled because he said  he had "rayuma"

Then it rained as I summited.  Waited for 30 minutes for the rain to stop.  

Then went up at the steep Mambog hills

Went up SCH until the tank only.   Then on the way down, saw 3 mtb riders spraying each other with high pressure hoses after being muddied up at the SCH trail.  They sure like ducks enjoyed the experience immensely
