komoot fail and some proper underbiking. was expecting ~5k of gravel, but that was 10 before i turned off the route for another 6 or 7k of cobbles. i am blistered and bruised. need to work out if every shop is closed on a sunday this week, or every week because i also ran out of water

question for the bike experts: snapped a spoke at the hub today while climbing in a low gear and sitting. the wheel is new, it has about 1,250km on it. i got it cause the old one was knackered⦠but on its last ride i also snapped a spoke while climbing, except at the nipple (1/2)
