Not a great day on the bike, mechanically speaking. I had put on a new chain, and it was skipping throughout the ride in certain gears under load. Not sure what's going on there, I'll try to ride it out and see if the new chain settles in. Down by the park and across the freeway to get to BVP, which I took up to San Pasqual Valley Rd, turning right and then left onto Citrus Ave. Took it all the way to El Norte Pkwy, turning left and riding down to Broadway. Over to Country Club Ln, taking it until I got to Borden Rd, where I turned right and headed for Las Posas Rd. After the slow climb, I hit something in the road and got a front tire flat, so I stopped to repair it. Continued on, turning left on Las Posas Rd and then left again on San Marcos Blvd. Down to Bent Ave, turning right and seeing the new traffic layout around Discovery St, which it looks like they are finally connecting through. I got onto Craven Rd and took it to Twin Oaks Valley Pkwy. Turned left and then right onto Barham Dr, and it was around here that the control cable for my rear derailleur broke, leaving me with two gears to choose from. I took it slow, riding to Mission Ave and then over to Centre City Pkwy. Home the normal way from here, across the freeway and riding, quite slowly, up the two last little climbs. Was definitely glad to be done with this ride. On the plus side, cleaning and reseating my rear cassette may have caused the clattering noise in my rear wheel to go away. Will monitor how it goes.
