Oh Jennifer . . . I feel for you! I hope your weather improves so that you can get that new bike out on the trails and get some "dirt" on it!

The clipless pedals are a personal choice and takes a bit of a "breaking in period" . . . when I first got my clipless pedals years ago (1999) I remember my first few weeks. My poor knees! But now it's so second nature I can unclip as I'm falling and jump off my bike and watch it go without me as I stand on the side of the trail!

Speaking of riding . . . dh and me are riding this morning with a group of friends in about . . . 3 1/2 hours! I'm up early filling up on my morning caffeine quota!
