Epic Bike Failure

My goodness I've experienced some bad luck on the Cannondale this holiday weekend. Two days in a row I've popped a spoke off my back tire.

The first time it seemed like my CatEye sensor slipped out of position and caused the break just outside of Dewey. After a quick trip to the bike shop I was back on the road.

The second time I was on an epic ride from OC to Rehoboth and while coming off a red light in North Bethany sure enough I heard the same strange noise and felt the bike shudder. Within seconds my back wheel was again stuck.

Motherf-er!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ended up (again) throwing my bike over my shoulder and walking it to a safe place to wait for my ride. Luckily, this time I was close to a restuarant that had ample comfortable chairs in the shade so at least I was comfortable while I waited.

Man oh man. This totally sucks.
