October trial bike commute---

Day Five:
Broke a rear spoke Thursday afternoon. Still had a great commute Friday. On the way back I hooked up with a pacer/drafting rider for about 3 of the 7.5 mile commute. Didn't know I could ride that hard, and was trying to take it easy on my rear wheel, as it still had the broken spoke.

This morning ran to the LBS to get a tool to remove my Suntour freewheel and a new spoke. Replaced the spoke along with some adjustments on my rear brake. Ready for Monday. Also got a bunch of gear arriving next week, long sleeve alertshirts, knee warmers, lighting equipment, rear rack, rear trunk back, frame bag, thermos bottle, ...

Goal next week is to ride the 10.5 mile each way commute all next week. Driving only 4 miles each way.
