thanks grog!!! well, I went out to today and tried the ultegra pedals on the new madone! I actually survivied! I was scared to death at first and then very concerned and finally enjoyed myself! I'm still not comfortable wtih the ultegra pedals, but I'm ok with them. They are on the easiest adjustment. I'll give them some time and if I can't adjust I'll switch later.

I rode 20 miles!!!!! So nice on the madone! She's just lovely! She does need some derailler adjustments. She'll go to the doctor on Monday.

thanks everyone for your encouragment! It was just such a blessing to get these few days of nice weather to get back out there again!
