Flèche Countdown: 7 Days

No ride today.  My daughter and son-in-law were visiting.

I did discover that my cassette was due for a change, and my chain was worn enough to replace.  Why the bike shop didn’t alert me last week, I’ll never know.

A visit to the bike shop got a new 11-28 cassette, new chain, and food/hydration supplements for the ride.  I installed the chain, letting the bike shop install the cassette.  A break-in test ride will be required with these new components.  So, except for jockey wheels, it is a whole new drive train.

We are now inside a week.  I’ll need to have everything ready by Thursday evening because of commitments on Friday.  Monday will be a big prep day.
