Bike malfunctions!

After my long ride with Lisa last week my bike had a visit to the shop. Near the end or our ride last week my shifter came loose and the gears were jumping all over the place. Thankfully Zoltan at Ziggy's fixed the gears quickly and my bike was good to go again.
Today the weather was threatening rain again on our long ride so we held off until 10am and began our 80km journey.
This time we played it smart and chose some side roads that had a cross wind instead of an out and back.  The wind gusts today were between 35-41km/hr.
To keep things consistent with our long ride last week, my bike had another malfunction about 12km from home. The screws holding my seat post/saddle came loose and they would not tighten, it seemed stripped.
Needless to say it was a fun ride home! Back to the shop went the bike! Grateful we got our 80km ride in at least!!
