I forgot my F-in work shoes, that's how my ride was today.  duh.  so now I have to click-clack around the office like a goofball in my silver and black specialized velcro strap micro adjusting strap look cleat road shoes like a total idiot!  that's how my ride was today, thanks for asking!    :D

now I remember, it was so icey Fri that I wore my work shoes on my bike to the metrolink so i wouldn't slip, then left them at home.   :)  I shall wear them like a freakin badge of bicycle-geek honor.

Find some tissue boxes and empty them. BAM! Instant shoes. Leave some tissues in the bottom if you want extra cushioning  :D

Better yet, get a cheapo pair of shoes that are work-acceptable and leave them there in a drawer.  BAMMO!  No need to carry work shoes with you.

Yah, shoes at work bill.  Cleat life.
Q: Do you really sprint with such reckless abandon that you need straps?
A: Yes.

yeah . . . not the only life at risk.  if there's any lesson to be learned from last season, it's that it's dangerous to come out of the pedals during a sprint.  I'll definitely be getting new cleats all arouond before racing this year.  bh
