Great weekend for bike riding

Still contemplating the Katy Trail ride but balancing the need for saving vacation time for other major events this year like the arrival of my first grandson! The KTR still sounds like a great idea but there is always next year.

Other biking news.

I suffered a minor breakdown on my ride home from work a week last Friday. I broke the cable for the forward derailer. I was able to find a replacement cable the following Saturday but was not able to do the work until Sunday- During the repair I struggled with the stop screw for the derailer. The head is just too stripped out to be able to adjust it. I was able to remove the screw but no one was open to sell me a replacement on Sunday. The closes shop is only open from 10-6 and I do not get home until 6:30. Finally made it to another bike shop on Thursday only to be told that I am unlikely to find something like the only I am trying to replace. Apparently they are quite specific to the model of derailer and mine is almost 20 years old. Two solutions present itself - first is to find a source for very fine thread metric screws. The other is to just replace the whole derailer. I hope to take the bike into the shop tonight to get some quotes - then it is decision time.
