New rear wheel, reflector loose and needed to be removed in first 2 km. Then the speed sensor magnet was loose and could not be tightened. I used some roadside debris to thicken my spoke so it could be tightened. Still missing 3 km on my odometer. Then a pickup truck loaded with branches drives by and the branches whack me in the back and the head. Not pleasant. Later some lady on a mountain bike scolds me "Pass on my left" which is exactly what I was doing. What was her problem? Some people have to bitch even when there is no reason. The wind picked up from the east in my face soon after I started. Now my new wheel is bent and my brakes are loose. Maybe I stick to the indoor trainer for a while.
72-85°F, winds 5-10 easterly, sunny.
