It paid off to ride to the salvage store; but I paid for the pay-off. On the way home, I had a 15 mph headwind for a mile or so; and is that ever tiring! It was getting hot, too; and I guess it’s time I hauled out the cool rag.

There were a few things that I didn’t find at the salvage store; so I took a hike to the neighborhood grocery store to get them. I’m glad the weather cooperated, but we actually need rain; so I hope it does rain soon.

I also hope there’s nothing seriously wrong with my hybrid’s front wheel. On the way home, I kept hearing a sound like a cricket chirping; and realized that my bike was making it. But the bike shop is rather backed up just now; so I’ll have to wait until next week to take my “ride” in. I’d better ride short and easy until then!
