Going with a broken spoke on the rear wheel: how far and/or how you think I can go???

Hi every one

I should probably post this on the mechanic forum but I like this forum a lot more because I know you guys are going the distance and have seen a lot so...

I broke a spoke on my rear wheel but I noticed it almost by accident this past week end while cleaning and lubricating the bike. I don't know how long I've been riding like that. My probleme is that I would have to leave the wheel at my lbs for a day or two to have it fixed but I hate to take the car. I prefer to wait for my vacation in mid-july. What do you think? I'm going 61 kms/day, 4 days/week.

The mecanic only work week days, they have mecanics during the week end but the last time I asked for a tubular tire the week end guy told me that it didn't exist (I literaly had to show him on Ebay) so I don't think i'll trust him with my wheel.

Thanks
