What’s that noise?
Hayley said when a loud ping came from the hallway. “Sounds like a spoke snapping” I replied.
Finally after nine months of riding a wheel that I had to stamp on to straighten out after crashing, one of the spokes has let go. It’s a pain as I’ve no spares and this is my only set of clincher wheels. The thought of ruining my tubs riding through London in the icy, gritty and pot holed conditions we’ve got at the moment doesn’t thrill me.
Arrived at work much earlier than intended today which means I went faster than I intended on my ride, rode hills in the big ring seated tonight and then finished off with another 30 minutes light on the turbo. A solid 3 hours on a weekday whilst putting in an 8-6 stint at work is good going I think.
