Today was a very mild adventure day. To begin with, before setting out I wanted to tighten the seat clamp on my trike, as the seat has begun to just rock from side to side very slightly. But when I went to take the allen wrench out of the pocket on the seat in order to make this adjustment, the wrench wasn't there! (Ironic, given my name.) When I brought the trike home from the dealer early this week, I would have had to use the wrench to put it together, and I can't imagine where else it might be now. But anyway, since I cannot find one sufficiently big at Lowe's (I've looked in the past, to try to get a backup), I've emailed the manufacturer to ask them to send me one.
It is once more a chilly day (currently 28° at 3:45, with a wind-chill of 16°—if it were spring, I'd describe the breeze as "nice"), but I planned to ride my loop down around Saline High School (10.3 miles). However, I inadvertently took a wrong turn off Bicentennial Pkwy back in the subdivision between Textile Rd. and Saline, and when I discovered my error and turned around and retraced my route back home, it gave me a ride of 8.4 miles (a little below the 10-mile minimum I try to do) in an even hour. My toes, which are still warming, were grateful that I cut it short.
