WHAT A TUNE-UP!

Got a 'tune-up' the day before HOP Lite over a week ago - the bike's nice and shiny, it's a treat.  Take it on the road with about thirty others on HOP Lite.  Middle of the ride, shifting problems in the front - we'll fix that at home.  Top of Collier, dropped chain.  Damn, lost most of the group.  Back on Highland, hey what's that clanking noise and why is the big ring wobbling laterally?  Off the bike, missing 4 out of 5 chain ring bolts and the 5th one is almost out too!  Stranded...  What a tune-up!
