Following my interesting Friday night blowout experience, I took the SilverBoys to the battleship USS Alabama on Saturday to kill time.

On the way back, we stopped at Eastern Shore Cycling, a Specialized shop in Daphne Alabama, to get a new tire and to true my wheel.

While truing the wheel, the wrench says "So, how do you like your Madone?"

Me: "I love my Madone...but how did you know I have a Madone?"

Wrench: "High end tires, on a non-standard Bontrager wheel, for a guy 600 miles from home who brought his bike for a two day trip - has to be a Madone."

This guy was the Sherlock Holmes of bike mechanics! I suspect they're a good shop!
