15 miles west of Foat Wuth on the Unibagel late Saturday morning. Got hottish toward noon, mostly due to humidity. Not bad for late summer in Texas. Saw a few other cyclists too, more than usual on that rural route.

Stopped to chat with the fellow who gave me a lift home a year ago almost to the day when I had a flat and no pump. At the time I'd been riding again only a couple of weeks and could barely make 3-5 miles without exhaustion. He was kind enough to ferry me and my bike home. The tires I had on that bike back then wouldn't stay on the rims uninflated, so it would have been a long slog home three miles with a 35 lb bike on my shoulder.

Also gave me a chance to test my rim adjustments. First time in 30 years I'd tackled a wheel wobble. Was a bit nervous but the wheel held up just fine. Still a bit of a hop in the rim, maybe 1/8". I'll probably let the LBS tackle truing both wheels properly, so I'll have a good starting point.

If my replacement brake pads arrive from Amazon today I might ride again later. Definitely tomorrow.
