11-03-2022 Ride

Last afternoon ride of the year with Blair and Robert.  Headed over to RB Rd the normal way, where we met up with Robert and stopped to adjust my front derailleur, which was rubbing.  It was better, still not perfect, after the adjustment, good enough for me to ride but limited in which gears I could use while avoiding the chain rubbing against it.  We headed through the 4S Ranch neighborhood and then through Del Sur, getting back to Camino del Sur and taking it to the 56 bike path.  I wasn't pushing the pace too hard, content generally with hanging at about the same pace as Robert, with Blair a little behind.  We headed up to Black Mountain Rd, and I was able to outpace Robert on that little climb, with a consistent, big effort.  Then it was back to Carmel Valley Rd, turning right and heading to Dove Canyon Rd.  On the climb to the top of Carmel Valley Rd, I noticed some additional noise in the front derailleur, so I stopped near the bottom of Dove Canyon Rd to tighten my new, recently installed chainring bolts, some of which had loosened.  I caught up with Robert and Blair at RB Rd, where they were looking at Robert's bottom bracket, which had been making noise all through the ride.  Then we headed back to our respective starting points, and I drove home.  Was a good ride.
