Despite the all the distractions, we made it to the beach today. As I was pumping my tires this am I noticed a broken spoke nipple. I texted Falvio (nee Claudio) and Ruggerio to let them know I would be late. I then changed out my rear wheel, and got on the road 10 min late. When I got the meet point there was no Claudio so I called him. He overslept, so I let Ruggerio know and he started south to meet up with us. We got on the way about 15 mi late so rather than doing the parkland loop first, we just headed east. The wind was out of the northwest, so east was easy. We got to Palmetto Park and after a brief stop (where we noticed that Caudio had a broken spoke) we headed back. We got back right around 7, and I headed over to Starbucks via the parkland loop. The weather was nice but cool, a mild breeze out of the NE at 6.
