I road tonight but not the clipless ride I had planned. Since the group was going to be large and I had extra free time, I called a friend to get her to do a baby trail with me so I could warm up a bit. I did and it was a lot easier than I was expecting. I was very timid throughout. Standing on those little things feels very fragile! But I could climb so much faster!!

When I got to my regular ride, I couldn't get my first foot clipped in! I stood there for like 15 minutes moving it around and looking at my cleat and moving and trying and FINALLY it clipped in. SO goes "see that wasn't hard that time..." to which I was thinking "that time" took me 15 minutes...it was ALL "that time!" I tried again and it just didn't seem to want to work. I decided that because of the size of the group - I didn't want to hold everyone up with my clipping IN to START my ride, so I switched them back to platform. SO wasn't happy with me. BUT I've only been playing with these things for like 1 full night! I don't feel too guilty. I'm going to ride around the yard some more tomorrow and see if I can get better at clipping in! Out seems to be going well...but I have work to do on clipping in!
