Road Bike Revenge
I commented on our thirty mile loop last night that this was only the third ride I had been on my road bike in the last 5-6 weeks due to all the tandem riding we had been doing. About 20 miles in the road bike got even.
I went to shift gears and SNAP. The shift cable broke. I found out what it was like to be a single speed with an eleven tooth cog in back. Luckily I didn't have to be in the 53 tooth in front as I do have my 39. It was still a grinding last 10+ miles.
The TCR0 is now in the bike shop getting a little love. I will take it out again in the morning if all works as planned. We shall see if it can get past the emotional abuse I have put on it. Otherwise maybe it has something more eventful planned for tomorrow....

The real reason for the cable breakage was punishment for not riding within the posted 15-16 mph posted average ride speed. :)
There was some evil karma there...was that your doing? Casting spells on me?
See what happens when you ignore one of your bikes?!? They get back at you.
