Yesterday a mysterious clicking developed from someplace in my drivetrain. I've tightened all the tightenable parts, but it persists.
This could be nothing, or it could be the ticking of a time-bomb. Stay tuned for the exciting (or boring) conclusion!
Also, during the dramatic wheel-dipping ceremony, I accidentally dropped the bike into the sand, coating the oiled parts like a sugar donut. This is horrible for a bicycle, like pedaling it through sandpaper. I spent part of the morning cleaning every crevice out with a toothbrush.
After just 2 days of riding, my Achilles tendon is swollen and painful. The last time I had an Achilles problem it took weeks to heal and pedalling made it worse. Worry, worry, worry.
Yes, I'll admit it, this is very worrisome. Crossing my fingers. But the pictures are extraordinary.
