Today's Ride
A fairly uneventful ride. Traffic was mostly light, however, a couple of times it felt like we were on Indianapolis Motor Speedway!

When we got to Chelsea, I had to take a look at Ileana's bike. It was making a weeder noise. I determined that the bottom bracket was slightly loose. I carry a few tools and spare parts but I don't have a crank puller or any BB tools. A Google search showed a bike shop 3 blocks away so I rode her bike over there.  A quick adjustment of the BB and $10 later, I was on my way.

I had a few other minor adjustments to make on both bikes and they were ready for tomorrow.
