And I wonder, still I wonder

Who'll stop the rain?

Fun: When sleet hits your bell, and it dings.

I had an amazing ride this morning, what a tailwind!!! I was mashing my top gear (44x12) while flying down Milwaukee Ave. That doesn't happen very often...

I'm gonna guess you were heading south.  I almost dropped into my granny gear because of the headwind. I was on my mid chain ring, and second to biggest in gear in back.  I don't even remember how many gears I have back there, maybe eight.
