The road has two broken spokes on the back. Probably caused from the bumpy-ass ride down Mnt Greylock this past weekend. I'll have to order some spokes and then will try to get the thing working again - it will probably be a month  The mtb ride was chill, just tooling around on some easy trails and trying to get used to the balance of the bike (practicing some wheelies on it).... just really missed being on it on the trails and the grabbiness of my disk brakes scared the hell out of me... completely forgot how good they were after so much time on the road.

 But man, the day after I broke my road bike's spokes and my mtb was still without the hanger I was freaking out knowing I had no bike. The next day I went into work and swapped the hanger from another bike sitting in the basement and put it on mine, I just couldn't be without a ride!!

| OUCH!!!! The shifter cable on my road bike snapped and since I've been experiencing other problems with shifting I decided to take it into the shop. Got a call today, the shifter isn't racheting as it should and needs to be replaced, $180. The problem that shifter is for a 9 speed, I have 8, so need to change the cassette, $90. That will get me going, but, now the right shifter doesn't match the left shifter, $120. Throw in labor, tax, we're talking about $450-$470
