Due to family responsibilities and other commitments, I rode less in june than I did in January or Feb. (I'm not complaining, I'm still lucky enough to ride about 3 days/week!!)


I broke a spoke yesterday AM. I took it easy, and then on the way home I stopped at MEC* and they replaced it, and only charged me for the material cost of a single spoke!! They did warn me that I'd soon be in the market for a new rear wheel--I knew that already...






* MEC = Mountain Equipment Co-op, which is similar to what REI used to be, although MEC is changing a lot in the last few years...
