That's a crappy breakdown to have, one of the few you can't fix on the road with an alien, but at least it is easy and cheap to remedy.

I bent an XTR derailleur today on my MTB. That's a lot worse.

About 10 -12 miles on the trail today, rocky as all hell. We went to Douglas State Forest. It was amazing, I've never ridden anything so rocky for so long before in my life. It was hard, hard riding. I'm pooped. I'll go out tomorrow on the road for a short 20-30 miler I think.
Fortunetly the cable didn't snap on the road, it happened while I was trying to adjust the shifter. But bottom line, it was a bad day, I got two bike and none that I can ride til they are fixed. Hope you don't have too much trouble fixing that derailleur.
