I thought the wheel should be on its own.

        -o  
      o   `o
      '     
      \_Q_/
        I
       <T7   
       =|=    
   ____ 0 ____

I like to do a side view so that the wheel looks more like a wheel:

         o
            o
      o __O_/
           \
          __\
          \ /
          ~|\
           |~

Here is one the same size as yours, Jacinta:

          o
            o
       o__C_/
         /
        \ 7 
        /|~
        ~|
ejm98   (*)

And here I am trying the sport myself:

     o
          o
 o ---%^^,   
     /   >_/o   If three is good, then six must be better....
 o      />
     o /_>,^
       \ /
