Eager to get one last ride in before the eminent destruction of Hurricane Irene, we went for a ride out to Dover, MA. While most rides end up successful, this one did not. Heading up a hill, Todd's wheel was no match for his powerful pedaling, causing him to blow a spoke and lose a nipple. After a several minutes of trying to true the wheel, we deemed it a lost cause and phoned Dan for a rescue ride for Todd. The rest of us headed back only to get soaked in a downpour from one of Irene's feeder bands just minutes before arriving home.
