After thoroughly cleaning my wife’s Bianchi Trofeo Road Bike and my Felt Z6 Road Bike, and then attaching the SPD cleats onto my new pair of Shimano MO77 MTB shoes, I tested out the new shoes and bike by riding around our 3-mile block twice. The shoes were a perfect fit and they click in and out of the Shimano SPD pedals very easily.
“Why SPD’s on a road bike?” you might ask! Easy answer! I like the fact that I can click in on either side of the pedals. They may weigh a couple/three grams more than certified road bike pedals, but I feel that the assurance of clicking in on the first attempt is well worth the extra weight. If I were that concerned with a few grams, I would cease eating chocolate chip cookies.
So the cycling streak continues at number 59, with number 60 looming tomorrow morning. I feel that a good goal would be to bike 60 miles tomorrow to celebrate my 60th cycling-day-in-a-row.
Sixty is also a nice round number to stop this nonsense. With my youngest daughter flying into town Thursday evening, the timing is perfect to give cycling a rest and at the same time allow myself some valuable time with my little girl – who happens to be 45 years of age.
My Goodness, how time flies when you’re having fun…
