The ride started out great, and I was with the group well onto Head of the River Road.. But then I heard a slight pinging and looked down to see what it was. When I did that I lost contact with the group and try as I might (for a good mile I stayed just 30 yards behind them) I could not bridge, so I trucked my way back to the parking lot alone. Once I got back I went to load the bike and noticed that I had broken a spoke.
Here is the data, even after having lost the group and rode alone for 14 miles back to the parking lot.
Wednesday I had intended to ride to Stockton so I ran to a local shop to have a new spoke put in and the wheel trued. But when I got home I noticed that the wheel was still out a bit and was even pinging under my weight.. So instead I drove upto Beacon and had it trued and tensioned fully. Then I met Shannon and we had dinner before coming back home.
Now, as far as donations go, I am currently sitting at $3,171 which is $1,329 away from my goal and I only have 55 more days! So please, if you can take the time and goto www.bikeandbuild.org/rider/5565 and donate I would really appreciate it so much. Anyone who does donate will get a postcard from me, and a hug the next time I see you!
Thank you!
