IHRT

A beautiful day for a casual ride. Members: Alan Kurzwell, Scott Walker, Darin King, and Lou Dallaroso with visitor, Lee Schachter rode the IHRT today.  Yours truly led in Randy and Jackie's absence.  Lou joined us mid-way on the trail and Darin left us at White Plains to return home. Scott dropped his chain and experienced some strange noises, he still made good time returning to Indian Head.  Alan, Lee and Lou joined me at George's for the #4 special. After enjoying the meal, Lou didn't feel like another 15 miles, so I took him home.  A good time was enjoyed by all and Randy and Jackie missed a good meal with good company.  I forgot my camera, so no pics - even though my wife reminded me before leaving home.

    Interesting mechanicals on this one Larry. Still working to isolate chain slippage issue but I think I may be close (new chain and relatively new cassette). Checked rear drlr this morning and corrected distance between cassette and top jockey wheel using B-screw (spec is 6-10mm; mine was at 30). Change revealed severe indexing issues, which I also corrected. Hope to briefly test later today (for a couple of minutes the the cold sun).

    Other noise was from my left cleat. Spring was dry. Dry-lube applied; all quiet.

    Thanks for leading Larry...fun ride even with the goofy mechanical stuff...
