No doubt it's Monday

Today certainly was Monday!!!! Things started out great, a bit on the cold side, but no rain in the forecast. I headed out to work, and noticed that my legs felt a bit heavy. I've rode my road bike the past couple of days, but didn't think that my legs were that tired. I just downshifted a gear & it felt much better. I just continued to pedal towards work, when I neared an intersection where there is a nice downhill section. I just figured I'd put it in the big ring & use the momentum from the downhill to get up the smaller hill. I tried shifting to the big ring, but it didn't seem to shift, that's when I noticed that I was already in the big ring. It had been that way since the start of the ride & that's why my legs felt the way they did at the start. Well a bit further down the road, I noticed that my front fender was loose & ready to fall off. I stopped for a few minutes & tried to re-install it, but I quickly gave up that idea & got back on the bike towards work. Upon re-installing the front wheel, it seemed that the brake pads didn't line up correctly, so it was rubbing on one side the rest of the commute. I re-installed the front fender during a break at work. Once work was done, the commute home was pretty much uneventful. The only problem on the way home was the headwind the entire way. The forecast says there's an 80% chance of rain tomorrow, so I'm going to play it safe & drive to work tomorrow. The early forecast for the rest of the week looks good to commute. Stay tuned.....
