Broken Spoke
I had a nice block of time to get out for a ride while my wife and daughters went out shopping. 1 mile into the ride, my spoke broke. End of Ride :-(
Broken spoke on rear wheel...
Yeah, I didn't get very far...

I hate braking spokes...and it always happens on the rear wheel cassette side for me.
However, 1 broken spoke shouldn't stop you riding. I have heard of people riding with 5 broken spokes.
@thePig I tried. But the wheel was so out of true that it was rubbing up against the frame. I took it to the bike shop and in addition to getting the spoke fixed, my chain was worn out. The chain is the original one and it probably has around 5,000 miles (8,000 km) on it. Not bad. Of course that also means a new rear cassette and chain rings.
Unfortunately it is June, and that means the local bike shop is very busy. So I will be without my road bike until June 24th the latest.
Time to go mountain biking...
