76th ride - 7/31/2015

I was planning a very long ride this morning ... perhaps four round trips to Marsh Park ... and it was going fine except for one thing. My chain was rattling, and I remembered that when I rode with Kristian on Wednesday, he noted that, too, and said that it was due to being dry and I needed to add some lube to it. I was concerned today with possibly damaging it if I continued to ride without addressing this, so I stopped after a single round trip, and plan now to make a journey to Wheels in Motion as soon as they're open, to pick up some lube (they open at 10:00, and I rode today at 7:45, so finished well before 9:00). I hope then to add some more riding later this morning—for now, I have 9.5 miles for today, in 1 hour and 4 minutes.
