saffronhareI took a slightly longer, though less harrowing, route back to the service shop this evening. Made good enough time not only to arrive before they closed at 6 p.m. (despite leaving 20 minutes later than I'd intended), but also just before the big, fat raindrops began to fall.
YAY! I'm having adventures!
I'll need to pay attention to the forecast for tomorrow's weather before deciding whether to ride tomorrow. I'd prefer to ride. My butt-points are sore. Not enough lard, I guess. :)
Gonna browse around for an LJ community of people who try to commute by bike. (No, this is not a call to the VURD...just thinking "out loud" here.) I bet there's a lot to learn.
But now? I MUST SHOWER.
Edit: Except. The friendly and eager service person at CarMax thoughtfully loaded my bike for me, while I was writing a lovely check at the counter. Except, except. He *removed* the quick-release front wheel to do this, which I only discovered once I got home and was unloading the bike. And now, I can't get it back on. ::sigh:: Nothing is broken. It looks just fine, sitting there with its wheel next to it. Like some sort of sparkly blue, headless horseman.
Shower first; read the owner's manual next; freak out later.
