Another wreck another busted spoke

I rode Sycamore Canyon with a few friends Saturday afternoon. It was going to be a relaxed ride with a few friends. It turned out to be me breaking a spoke and walking out of Sycamore Canyon. We were on our way back from doing our loop when I had toseparate from the group to make it back to my house for a cookout. I was about halfway between the south gate and the rangers station when I heard an eerie but familiar sound going t’ing, t’ing, t’ing. I wasn’t sure what it was but I knew it wasn’t good. So a few seconds later my drive train seizes and I am over-the-bars. So I dust myself off and pickup my bike to see what the hell happened. I see my chain is behind my rear cassette and I have a single spoke blowing in the wind. Best I can figure is the spoke broke and was making the t’ing, t’ing, t’ing noise. The only thing I can figure happened after that was the spoke most have gotten caught in the chain and/or cassette causing the bike to seize up and thus send me over-the-bars.
