along this morning at half throttle, looking forward to a couple of hours in the saddle. Cruising slow because I'm concerned about the wobble in my drive wheel,(is it worse than yesterday?) Looking down at the seat tube I can see it; the tire is scrubbing the pavement like crazy! Well, take it slow, ride a little longer... ping! ping-ping!...look down, wheel's wobblin like a hula dancer... mercy, ten miles from home, no way I'm calling wife, sloooowly I proceed home without further incident. String her up, check the wheel, four broken spokes... on the phone to the bike shop, ordered a steel workmaster w/ 12guage spokes as per advice sans Bama... won't be in for a coupla days but hoping to nip the wobbleys in the bud. Also time to put that tool kit together; a pocket knife can only do so much...
