Wind in my face on the ride home from work today. Hey wind.... _|_ .

I ran over a groundhog around mile 7. Front wheel went over fine but I bent the back wheel to the point where it did a slight rub on the left brake pad each time the bent area came around. I loosened the brakes a bit but it still got the rub. So the other 14 miles were spent riding as if I was tapping the brakes one each time my wheel turned. Rode back in the next morning and took my bike to the LBS and found out I had broken a spoke. Also learned to check for a broken spoke after something like running over a groundhog! They are going to fix my wheel for me and give me a tuneup, won't have the bike back until 5/23/2012.
