Rest day from running, but it was a cycling day.  Early morning - tried out a newly-designed oval-shaped front sprocket that a local fellow is marketing.  It is supposed to give more power on the downstroke because of its shape.  No front derailleur is necessary since there is only one chainring (sprocket) on the front.  Rode his bike with the sprocket about 5-7 miles.  It was interesting.  After the first few yards of it feeling wobbly, I couldn't tell the difference in the way it feels to spin with it.  It was hard to tell if it gave any big improvement since I was riding his heavier Schwinn bike.  I told him I'd have to try it on my road bike and ride some hills and long flat roads to see if there is any benefit.

After a short nap and some houswork, rode 30 miles out in Lakeland and Arlington.  Rode the Memphis-Arlington hills twice, out and back to the Brunswick intersection.  Beautiful, somewhat windy day.
