7and8

So after huffing out the last few miles of a charity ride this weekend I was feeling like I was more out of shape than I thought.
I go to spin out my legs the next day and during my pre-flight check find that my rear wheel is damn near immobile. I check closer and find that a spoke is broken and the wheel is deflected so that the rim is pressing against the brake...hard. I was pushing this whole thing those last few miles and didn't know it. Good news, I'm a stronger rider than I thought; Bad news I'm deaf and blind to have not noticed how bad this was.

The car has also been making a funny noise. Maybe I should just turn up the radio.
