Did a solo ride this morning. When the daughter and I rode Tuesday night we heard a pop that sounded like a spoke breaking, when I got back from my ride today she informed me that 3 spokes had broken so it was off to the bike shop to get them replaced. Dang this bike riding is expensive.
Motivation meter today 9.0 on a scale of 1-10
I thought you purchased new wheels not to long ago? On a similar note, I had to tighten 2 spokes on my ride today... I'm almost positive its the same 2 spokes (one on back wheel one on front) that come lose all of the time. It happens enough that I started carrying a spoke wrench with me. I just cant stand that "creek, creek, creek noise".... LOL
Anyway I had the bright Idea of going to town to pay my moms house insurance and my light bill. She had to pay this one in person because she changed policies. (ok I paid it but you know what I mean... LOL) .. Anyway I left at about 12:15 this afternoon. Of course had the nice headwind on the way into town.. cant NOT have that.
Took the long way (safer way on bike) from one place to the other. Ended up riding 36.28 miles. Stopped and got a Pepsi about 10 miles from home (needed some sugar). Was a great ride felt strong most of the way, got a bit overheated towards the end though. Saved a bit of money on gas... Had the camera... nothing of interest to take pictures of... Or maybe I just have an eye for photo's..... that's probably what it is .... DOH!!
