I got to ride my MTB today after installing a new, lighter, better crankset. It started to rain, so I decided to just leave right from home instead of packing up and heading for a MORC trail. I hit a trail that I can usually only see in the fall when the flora has died off a bit for the year. I'd call it a secret trail, but there were a couple of dogs being run off leash by a pedestrian. The trail is one of the first I've been on in St. Paul and I really enjoyed getting back on it. My problem of dropping the chain when switching from the middle to smallest cog (front) is still there. But I'd like to think it improved somewhat (that's what my emotions are telling the part of my brain that hates spending money).
