The nice weather attracted many folks out to cross the bridge on the day after Christmas. I only saw a couple of other bikers on the bridge, and they were wearing shorts.
I noticed today that my chain is a little rusty. I need offer up a little TLC to the drive train this weekend before it gets worse.
Get out there and ride before Old Man Winter comes back to town.
