5 deg C and raining today so took hack west past Mont Saint Michel. Wore fleece long bibs and at coffee stop I looked like I was on fire, all the steam coming off my legs. Afterwards came to first climb up to view point and heard that all to often noise ( with these light weight spokes) ping as another one snapped. By the time I got to the top the wheel was so out of true that it was rubbing the brakes. Stopped and even with the brakes fully adjusted it still would touch. Time for home . Shortest distance home meant using some busy ish main roads so risked it for about 10kms then used side roads. Going to ask LBS to change all the spokes on rear wheel to normal non waisted spokes.
