I was turning my bicycle over to clean the underside on Saturday evening, and I clumsily lost my grip and dropped the bike hard on what is called my stationary trainer. That bent one of the spokes on the back wheel so badly that the spoke pulled out of the wheel, splitting the metal rim and ruining the wheel. The guys at the Urban Shark bike shop came through for me again. The manager offered to split up a set of wheels and to sell me only the back one and at a reasonable price. The mechanic installed the new wheel in minutes, on a Sunday, and had me riding safely in time to get to the pub after lunch. The Urban Shark has been very good to me.
Click here to hear a really nice song. I learned the guitar chords, today, and they are beautiful. They sound to me like jazz chords.

Hartford to Downtown St. Louis the Long Way
I rode a new route, today, to avoid riding what I am sure was a muddy stretch of my usual path along the east levee of the Chain of Rocks canal. Click here to see the route. On the map, click on Map Options and choose Satellite. You will see a little box in the upper right of the map that says 3D. Click on that box if you want to see a virtual flyover of the route.
