Cycling

I was able to drag Tamara away from Nethack long enough to inflict a 25.16 km cycling trip on her. I took us 1 hour and 57 minutes or actually riding, and more like 3 hours all together, because we stopped at a farmers market thing about 8 km north of Victoria and had some nice cream of tomato soup and a forgettable sandwich.

We averaged 13.6 km/hr. Tamara is pretty saddle sore now. She hasn't ridden her bike in quite some time.

The ride gave me a chance to test my clipless pedals, which required some adjustment (this being the first ride), but were very nice overall. I didn't fall over at any point, but I almost did at the first stop sign. Hopefully I can avoid doing that in traffic on my commute.

On the way home my left crank arm decided it would be funny if it came loose. It was well on its way to falling off before I figured out that it was the loose crank arm causing the incredibly poor stroke on the left side. I though it was the pedal or something. Fortunately I had the tools to fix it, just a hex key. Apparently I didn't tighten it enough the first time, since I had to do it again when I got home. Hopefully I didn't round off the axle or anything.
