Commuting Woes

It's been awhile since I've last posted, but I've had several good weeks of training. Unfortunately, the ride into work today was less than ideal. I had to make several unanticipated stops (1) tighten pannier rack (2) adjust seat height (3) tighten pannier rack (4) pick up water bottle that got jarred loose (5) tighten pannier rack (6) repeat #5, again and again. You can see the repetition - I only put one pannier on the bike today and the imbalance caused the rack to rotate to the right and rub against the wheel. Even after tightening the darn thing on several occasions, it just kept floating to the right. Sigh. Luckily, Jessica brought me the other pannier over lunch; so hopefully I'm all set for the ride home!
