A short, fast, easy ride with Ann to Perry by noon. About 1.5 mi. from the hotel I got my eighth and final flat, I hope. This time it was a nail into the sidewall, I pulled it out with my small pliers and replaced the tube. It takes me only around five minutes now so then we carried on. Next it seemed to me that the bike wasn't shifting well and by the time we got to Subway I'd determined that my rear derailleur cable had snapped. When we arrived at the hotel I searched out Carol and fortunately she had a cable for me. We hunted for the broken nub, flipped over the bike and it magically appeared. I removed it and replaced the cable so I once again have all 20 gears. Yea!
