I did break a spoke on one of those rides but released the brakes on that wheel and climbed a 2500 foot pass on pavement the next day. Was very cautious coming back down with only the one brake!!! And then I did get a "dedicated" mt bike which saw mostly pavement but the occasional interesting off road adventures like a week in Moab with no shocks. Those were the days.
