Nice long ride down the CCT, out the canal to Seneca creek, and back River rd. left the watch stopped for about 5 mins by accident, for the last canal part. Alternately dodging swarms of people, and swarms of little bugs. At some points the bugs were so thick it sounded like rain on my helmet, which also made it hard to see. yuck. I was originally planning to do a shorter out-and-back route, but I was feeling good, and then I didn't want to go back through the bugs. Worried river rd would be a long hilly way back, but it wasn't bad. I felt pretty strong all the way home.

Down the CCT, dodging various giant mobs of bikers. I guess they were looking for cherry blossoms, though apparently those aren't out. Felt a little tired.
Beforehand I unsuccessfully tried to fix my front derailleur, which hasn't been getting onto the big ring. Seems like more of a problem with the shifty lever part not pulling. I pretty much only use two gears anyway (2-7 and 2-8), but some higher ones would be nice.
