The milford Bike ride today was at 8 am , I got up grabbed my Steed and Procedded to ride over there , I was alomst ther ewhen I herd the Twang of a Spoke break. I had broken one thursday Night That I did not fix , And I notice this on was almost right next to the othe rbroken Spoke ,Both on the same side of the hub. Well I was almost at the start so I figured I Just Ask Jeff , the bike shop owner about it when I got there . Well we noticed sever other spokes loose and then discoverd a 3rd spoke broken. I knew I was pretty much cooked at this point, So I went out with the ride but at At a Point early On I , I took of ffor , home. I got Home , Grabbed a Different Bike and took off to find the group again. I was pushing hard and Fianlly found them but boy was I winded.

:thumb: Sorry I missed you guys at Pisgah - I wasn't aware there was going to be an afternoon ride today until it was too late. I went out solo about the same time you guys rode, at Douglas SF. Pretty much bone dry. Isn't it great to ride in shorts in Massachusetts in January? :cool:


Do we need to have an exorcism for your bike? :think: :p

Great Pics... thanks for sharing them... looks like a great place to ride!
I thought it was supposed to rain also so I ended up brewing a batch of beer instead of riding today... Never rained, and the sun actually popped out while I was right in the middle of brewing:mad:

Nice pics! No outside ride for me today....did about 25 minutes on the stationary bike and went for a nice walk with the hubby. It was SO beautiful outside we couldn't resist. By the end of our walk it was REALLY windy though.
