E-Bikes

I started out the day cleaning my gutters. They were in desperate need. I then tried to adjust my brake ticking problem. I got it adjusted as good as possible. I'm afraid that my wheel build is not that great. Rotating the rear wheel clearly shows that it isn't perfectly round and has a bit of left / right wobble. Neither are terrible but I was expecting better. I'll take my calipers to the nipples and see what size wrench I need and order it. It's a cheap tool that I should own. I'll find a day to play with that wheel and I will improve it. It's not rocket science but will take a few hours for a novice to fine tune it.

I suited up and went riding once my chores were done. As I cut through the upscale neighborhood on my way to the sidewalk South, I found a billfold in the street. It was laying beside a parked car like it had fallen as the driver exited the vehicle. It's a busy street and not everyone is as honest as this old man so I picked it up and went to the nearest house. I rang the bell and knocked on the door but nobody was home. I rode my first loop and stopped again at the house with the same negative results. A third attempt later was the same. I was running out of battery and was pretty much frozen so I called it after three loops. I came home, inspected the contents of the billfold to confirm I was at the right house, wrote a note about finding it if I found nobody home again, and drove back to the house. Luckily, the kids younger sister was home from school. She was very grateful for the return of the billfold and I was very glad to see it returned. I logged 31 miles and froze my butt off today. It felt great to ride.
 
It warmed into the mid fifties but didn't feel all that warm. There was a wicked wind from the South that and it was overcast, making it seem colder than it was. I mowed my lawns early so I could ride. It was the last mowing obligations I have for this year so I put my blower and string trimmer up and took the trailer off of the truck. I have a cover for the smaller mower but I tarp up the big mower. I'll give it another week or so before I officially close shop. I might mulch my yard one more time.

Though I was anxious to ride, like I said, it was cold. I gave it some extra time to warm up or get less windy... hopefully both. I gave up and went riding. It wasn't terrible riding but I had hoped for it to be better. Gotta take what you get this time of year. I didn't see any one riding and only one jogger today. I logged 35 miles.
