So on the way home last night I felt like I was dragging a cinder block. I stopped multiple times to find the problem. Tire was not flat. Fenders were not rubbing against the tire. Brakes were adjust correctly. It wasn't until I was messing with my bike this morning that I have some major wheel wobble and the wheel would hit the brake every rotation.. Between getting the kids and myself ready didn't have time to fix this so I drove in even though I really wanted to go play in the snow.

Tonight I will try to true the wheel. I have never done this before (only got into the cycling this past summer). I don't have a stand but have found several sources online that say you don't really need one... to just turn the bike upside down. Hopefully this will turn out right. I'm a little concerned because things were fine in the morning. This was an issue as soon as I left work. I worry that it is a broken spoke and not just a truing issue. Anyway guess I'll hop over to the mechanics forum if there are issues.

Hopefully I'm up and running tomorrow.
