Patience. The sun has made an appearance in Connecticut this morning. Dirt roads in Vermont? Are there any other kind?

My daily commute includes ten miles of dirt road and a great deal of the remaining 20 miles has been under construction all summer. The bike has really taken a beating. Unrelated to that, I treated myself to a new sparkling DaVinci Crank. I decided to convert my Ebisu commuter to a triple, making it more useful for touring and freeing up the existing Cospea crank for my classic racing bike which has a mismatch between the 1988 vintage Chorus crank and the 1944 vintage engine. So last night the bike got cleaned, and I mean cleaned - down to the insides of the jockey pulley wheels. Then the beautiful new cranks and shiny rings were installed. Brakes got adjusted, the chain got fresh drops of Pro Link and I left it ready to go. This morning I sit here in cycling shorts and jersey, staring at a leaden sky promising to fall on us at any moment and I don't want to take my shiny bike out into the wet and the dirt.
