Thursday Bike Cruise in Danville

Danville had a GREAT tracking digipeater
Yesterday, Thursday, we arrived finally at Jacque's folks in Danville, Illinois.  Beautiful town and beautiful weather so we promptly decided on a bike ride on into town.  I needed a haircut, or a shaggy pet license, one or the other, so we got directions from the folks to Dad's barber on Vermilion  Street.  I put what address I had (just Vermilion st.) in the bike GPS and it took us to within a block of the place, down in the middle of town close to the railroad tracks, and we basically rode right up to the place where I got a respectable old time haircut.  Then we rode back east on Vermilion toward where we remembered K Mart was.  As we went a couple miles and approached K Mart, at the last intersection suddenly Jacque just stopped and dismounted and started pushing her bike.  I rode ahead and exited the street and walked back to her, where we discovered her derailleur had not only "De-Railed" but separated, tangled the chain, and bent itself back into the rear sprocket and spokes, effectively jamming the wheel so that it could not turn an inch.  We were next to a Dairy Queen with trees, shade, grass, and chocolate dipped ice cream cones, so we weren't suffering too much.  After we ate our cones it was mutually decided Jacque and Tinkerbell would wait in the grass in the shade and I would ride back to Dad's place for a gasoline powered rescue mission.  We only put a couple noticeable scratches on Dad's shiny new Ford Taurus as we stuffed her  bike into the surprisingly large trunk with the rear seats folded down for additional cargo room.
I'm going to look it over to see if I can find a local shoppe with an affordable replacement derailleur but most likely we'll have to wait until we get back home to NM where I have several "parts bikes" with possible replacement assemblies with the right price:  Already paid for.
