My bike is broken

Yesterday I got home a little after 7pm and my first instinct was to get on my bike and ride a few miles, since on wednesday (today) had to go to work for just a few hours, being my day off, I was not going to be able to ride early. Well, that didn't go too well. The rear sproket came loose and in the middle of the street over by the Pearl Brewery it just would not shift gears. I stopped and tried to fix it but to no avail, resigned I walked all the way back to my car, which was by the MUnicipal Golf Course.

From here, my agenda calls for getting some breakfast before heading to check out the pickup trucks that Jesus is interested in;

1. 1.- At 12179 FM 1518 North, Cibolo, Tx. 1997 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71, 166K $4,500 maroon.Carfax shows one owner. $208 under value.
2.  8903 Grissom Rd.- 2002 GMC Sierra Z71, has 204K miles , is maroon. Apparently driver's side wheel bearing needs service/replacement. Carfax shows one owner. $1080 over value.

Next , I need to see if I can fix my bike by myself or maybe I will take it to a bike shop if is not too expensive to do so, keeping in mind that two weeks ago I spend $75 just to get a new tire, tube and protective liner for the rear wheel, that was almost half the price of the bike.
If all goes well, I will go for a long ride, to make up for the time lost.
Laters. and let's roll!

07/15/2012 Salado Creek Greenway North.

Today I went for another long bike ride with  Cora.
We started at Tobin Park, headed north and bypassed Lady Bird Johnson Trailhead, went through McAllister Park, then trying to find the trail that connects to Walker Ranch Historic Landmark Park and then to  Volker Park, which is the same as Phil Hardberger Park right on Blanco and the Wurzbach Parkway (under construction).
We began the ride at around 7:45 AM and the round trip took us about 5 hours, with a number of stops for rests and mechanical problems along the way.
All things considered was a good ride, but my knees are sore and aching,since my wify and I went dancing last night and we had not done so in a long while.
I intend to keep posting all my rides along the San Antonio trailways. So far I have done most of the major ones.

07/11/2012 Wednesday Leon Creek Greenway North  and Central Bike Trail.

 Started on Valero Trailhead, corner of Interstate Highway 10 at Loop 1604 went on through Fox Park, Bamberger Park, Buddy Calk Park, Oxbow Park, OP Schnabel Park, bypassed Leon vista Trailhead, stopped at Mainland Trailhead, went to Walmart and bought supplies to protect my backpack and electronics from the rain. Continued to Grissom Trailhead then, Cathedral Rock trailhead connector, Border Brook Connector Trailhead and turned around as I approached the creek crossing just before the end at Via Ingram Rd Transit Center. Rainy and cool. I snapped pictures of two rabbits around Fox Park and a red-banded snake by Buddy Calk Park.
