First spokes down :(

After starting off on my 2011 Hardrock at around 400 pounds I was expecting to have them break eventually, and after managing 126miles last month after only starting riding in February, I was feeling pretty good about bettering it this month.

Then this morning I managed to get a branch or a rock into them, taking out three and leaving the wheel weak enough to be slightly warped and me pushing it for an hour or so back to a main road to call for a pickup

Hopefully its not too far gone and spoke replacement and truing it again is still an option as after ordering some riding shorts and buying a small toolkit the bank balance isn't looking healthy enough for a full wheel replacement for a week or so, and I've gotten into a good rhythm riding 30 out of the last 33 days.

A sample of the terrain, I think I'll leave these trails to the dual suspension bikes from now on, it didn't look that bad on the map
