Should Have Shot the Guns!

So I rode with the Super Hares (Miley included). You remember my famous quote "Not much on Guns or 100 milers). Did great the first 10 miles and then BONKED the rest of the ride. I thought "I must be getting old with my 57th B-day a few weeks away". Turns out I rode with a broken spoke, bent wheel and the tire rubbing the brake pad for 20+ miles. Took my bike to the shop and I had cracked something or other also. Guess next year I'll shoot guns.

Gary,

You have the worst luck with that bike. Didn't something like that happen before?

The Two Toms:
Yes that happened before.
Well Weds night as I was cresting the top of Suandersville Road I attempted to remove my helmet light from my head (don't ask why) and dropped the light into the back wheel. Guess it took 10 miles into Sat ride to reveal itself although I was oblivious to the problem for 20 miles....
