The meet up ride for Saturday was rained out, we've had days on end of rain, there was a short window late on Saturday afternoon that opened up and I took advantage with a ride around my own neighboorhood which I have not done in a while. Nice to just hop on and not transport the bike elsewhere. Sunday afternoon was clear also and I was able to ride a nice dirt road ride right from home, clouds formed and threatened but held off until my return. Sometimes mother nature smiles on us. The weather has cleared and cooled and it's great for biking. In three days I've already surpassed my last week's total mileage.
Since I was rained out on Saturday I took my bike over to the LBS that is part of the group of three stores owned by the company where I bought my bike from. The store in South Lyon was just great. I explained what had happened at their other store and the gentleman working put my bike right on a repair stand and proceeded to fix the brakes, it was not brake pads that needed replacing, they needed proper adjustment was all. I had fully expected to have to leave the bike there at least overnight but I was able to take it home with me in no time. In mileage this store is not farther from home, just a different direction, I won't be back to the other store again, I feel like the shop in SL redeemed their reputation. I'd been ready to chalk it up to experience but was pleasantly surprised.
