Bike trailing!

A x-training note: managed to fit the steel derailleur hanger to the Mule, replacing the alumi one broken months ago; then reattached the derailleur (guessing cable length) and prepared and fitted a new chain. Spent a while getting the gears sort of right (I hoped) and then added air to tyres, a bit of WD 40 on the creaky bits (alas, some rust has appeared) and off we go. First a mild ride on the paved rail trail with F and R, then home from Warren Wright via the old railbed -- some good steep bits, rocky bits, bumps and rough stuff--mainly it all worked okay. Probably 8 miles total ride, and I look forward to more (and more finetuning of the gears). The bike felt pretty weird at first, posture etc., but by the end I could sort of remember how it all works.

One other note: local runner Paul Low, serious champion level stuff, but inspiring notes on how he trains - see here. Running twice a day and recording time, not distance. And running to/from work. Lots of ideas there. Hmmm.
