I've been on a couple of clipless rides now and other than my knees hurting and a fear thing, I'm doing just ducky. No major wrecks and no missed unclips. So I decided to give the old times I'm borrowing back and ordered my own set. Fiance said I have never been sexier than when I'm ordering bike parts!

They arrived yesterday. They're horrible! They are so hard to get into and out of. They require so much more force! And with my knee hurting, I'm not sure it's a good idea to even try this set. We checked - we do have it on the setting with more float. We're trying the old pedals with new cleats today to see if that makes a difference. I tried the new cleats with his egg beaters too... very hard to clip in and out of. Requires a good bit of force also.

AND my hydraulic breaks keep getting squishy in the front. We paid $48 to have them rebled and they're still not right! So I'm very frustrated! We're leaving for Tsali at 6 a.m. and right now I feel like I'll be riding platforms with mechanical breaks again.

Oh and did I mention my allergies are so bad right now that I barely have energy to climb the stairs to my house...and I'll get my little monthly visit while I'm in Tsali. Sorry - but I was so excited about this trip and now I'm so depressed about it. I'm not even sure I'm well enough to go to work today. (I'm a massage therapist....can't work well if I've got a runny nose).
So I'm hosting my own pitty party....
