143rd ride

I rode to work again this morning, happy from a small victory that occurred just before I set off. For the last two days my odometer has been resolutely stuck on 0.0, so I decided to get out to the bike a few minutes early this morning and see if I could figure anything out. I noticed a small hinged unit on the front wheel, stamped with the brand name of the odometer/computer. I figured it must be a counter for the revolutions of the wheel—but it was opened so that the hinge kept it away from the wheel. So, deciding to experiment, I closed the hinge, pushing it down to the wheel—and was then delighted to find that the odometer had been restored!

At the end of the day, I was able once again to ride a good ride down to Saline and back up, stopping in at Meijer to pick up a few groceries, and then arriving to note that I had down a 14.6-mile ride today, in 1 hour and 17 minutes.
