Went riding in the early afternoon with Roger. The weather was nice and cool with moderate to high wind conditions. We had a headwind on the way back, so we decided to cut the ride short by not doing the SS loop. I felt pretty good most of the way. Roger and I shared pulls, so it wasn't as difficult as the last solo ride. My bike is working well. Since the last ride, after discovering that the rear wheel was not tightened fully, the creaking noise has gone away, for now... I will keep a close eye on it for now. I'm thinking I should still bring it in for a tuneup and see if the chain guard can be replaced. Before I forget, I'm feeling more balanced on the bike in terms of left and right legs hooking up properly. I think I attribute this due to my resistance training and stretching.
