Today’s Ride: Broken Spoke

Today was kind of hazy — not nearly as beautiful as it has been lately. Maybe the autumn blue is over. I hope not.

About 20 miles in as I was accelerating to make a light, I heard a sharp “ping!” from my back wheel. At first I thought it was just the chain settling on the tooth of a gear awkwardly, but after the corner, as I was braking down a hill, I heard a click with every turn of the wheel. Broke off a spoke at the nib. Wrapped it around another spoke and finished the next 42 miles without a problem.

Big ride planned for next weekend. We’ll see how it goes.
