6:29 AM; Minneapolis-St. Paul
21.0 °C; Partly cloudy
Carbon copy of yesterday morning, red sun rising, veiled by clouds and smoke. Odd, minor defect on the bike: when I got to the intersection from the Snelling off ramp and Como, I slowed to a stop to let a waiting car cross the intersection on Como. He insisted I keep riding. I had forgotten to downshift and stepped heavily into my pedals to avoid making him wait too long and felt something give, followed by a loud clanking coming from my rear wheel. I was first afraid that one of the spokes had popped but it was my wheel having been pulled out of alignment and the magnet for the speed/cadence sensor clanking against the receiver unit. I do adjust the cam so I have to use both hands to tighten it, amazed that I was able to pull that hard. As for the driver: I appreciate the thought but I think that motorist should take their right of way when a cyclist is approaching. It teaches bad habits among cyclists.

My earlier hope for rain evaporated in fornt of my eyes, the dark clouds dissolving east and south. Dogs are very good generally not pestering people. A woman was sitting on the curb by State of Minnesota Mediation Services, waiting for her ride. Dogs had been running ahead, right past her. I apologized, she said she had been a little concerned but appreciated their good behavior. Unfortunately, the dogs seem to pay attention to people who are fearful ...

I was taking it pretty easy. While crossing W River Rd at CLT, I pulled my rear wheel again, taking me down a notch or two after I was buoyed this morning for having such powerful legs. I should have tightened the cam bolt a turn because it happened again while crossing River Rd a second time. I did and the rest went without a hitch, though I do think I need to measure the chain links, it may be time for a new one. Always something ...
