I managed to squeeze in a slow ride this afternoon before the rain arrived—5 loops in Stonebridge for a total of 15.3 miles in 1 hour and 53 minutes. But, given the way the day started out, I was grateful to be able to ride at all. I though my derailleur had again become damaged, but my good friend Doug Tidd, who is the one that got me into cycling a few years ago, stopped over midday to look at it for me, and discovered that the derailleur was fine. The chain had merely come off the gear wheel, a problem he quickly and easily had rectified.
Also, I should note that yesterday's ride nudged my still-modest total for 2015 over the 400-mile plateau. Still low, but steadily growing.
