Fallen Chain

In my quest to lose weight (yeah, I know I haven't posted the chart in the last few weeks. I've been on a slow incline recently which I'm trying to put a stop to now. I will be posting Monday's in the hope that some public humiliation will get my butt back in gear) I've been trying to go outside and do some bike riding more often than I have been. So last night after I finished eating dinner I went out to get a ride in.

I decided to take the longer of the routes I normally take (8.3 miles roughly) which involves going down a fairly large hill, into "town" and then back up another fairly large, but not terribly steep hill. Except for one section about halfway through that I have to walk the bike up or else I get horribly exhausted. At the top of that section where it levels off to something a little more reasonable, I got back on my bike and started going again. Only I didn't go…my chain fell off. Argh! I did fix it myself (I'm not very mechanically minded, so I'm quite proud of this fact even if it's a minor thing). However, I now have what seem to be permanent black marks on my hands from touching the chain.

This stuff is never coming off…
