Spokes Pinging

I have a brand new Scoot Speedster S50 2013 Scott Speedster 50 - Road Bike Components and Reviews Approx 100 miles on it now. I am 280lbs in full gear, the spokes just started pinging if I put any amount of weight on the front end. Could it just be that the spokes need tightened after initial break in period? Or should I be concerned that the wheels may be straining under my weight? I will be stopping in to my LBS to ask them but wanted to be armed with a little knowledge before I go in there and he tells me I weigh too much for the bike HE sold me LOL. All thoughts, surmising and musings are gladly accepted.
