Broken spokes

Got some people to do the med/fast ride at a pace I could cope with yesterday.  HW route B - a nice sunny day.  Tony, Paul H and Paul S went off ahead as they were a bit too fast so I rode with dean, Richard f, Graeme and a new person, Neil. As usual I seemed to be struggling on the hills but I caught up on the flat bits and we were going well until disaster struck. A couple of miles south of takely I didn't stop fast enough when Richard f shouted car and I slowly went into the back of him. No injuries cos we were almost stopped but my spokes met his pedals and the pedals won. After a few mins deliberation the group rode with me to takely before they set off again at pace and I limped to stansted to the Starbucks near the mid- stay car park where I was picked up by Montse and family who drove out to rescue me. Fortunately I had bought new wheels the week before but hadn't put them on, so I was mightily relieved as I was intending to change them and discard the old ones anyway!!
