This morning the remnant of the storms of Friday were lingering. We had misty showers all morning and further drenched the soaked ground. If it hadn't been raining, I might have gone out onto the new section of trail I want to open up. I am sure that the creeks were brimming full. This will be a good opportunity to see if the bridge is high enough above the creek bank. The trail itself will be too wet to ride for a couple of days. Too bad since it is my week off. It may be a road riding kind of week.
The long range forecast for next Saturday shows a sunny day on one page and rain on another. That is just about what I expect. A 50/50 chance of bad weather that will knock our century down to a minimum. All we need is a rain free morning. Maybe we can manage that. I recall that flood I rode through for the Cheaha Challenge. Next time, I'd just pass on it. That made a difficult experience even more challenging.
More work for the MB Tandem. When the crank fell off, it bent the chain-ring. Now I either have to order a new left crank or try to bend the old one back to round. I have found that Nashbar has a right crank that would have worked nicely. I could have saved some money fixing it up for off road. But with those cheap cranks, who knows if it would have held up to tandem pressure.
