A couple of weeks off the bike for a few reasons.  We had guests last weekend and spent our time eating and doing seaside activities.  Then right after they left our bathroom reno guys showed up.  So I finally got out today on my usual loop up through the University and down past Mt. Doug.  I'm finding I have little interest in longer rides because I feel too beat up afterwards.

Today the creaking when I apply torque to the pedals got worse.  It may be a bottom bracket packing it in.  Time for a trip to the bike shop again.  The 29er is the bike I ride most often and I've put a lot of kilometers on it over the lst dozen or so years.  Thinking of getting a gravel bike and selling the Marin.  We'll see.
