Hey guys, I took your advice and I did not fall once today on my bike ride!!We went for about 2 hours and I'm going again on Sunday. I had so much fun and I feel great! I am really liking my shoes and pedals. (Keo Elle Look pedals).

Welcome to the board, Raquel!
Glad you're feeling more comfortable in your pedals. I also just started using clipless last summer and just when I think I'm getting comfortable . . . the other day I was tackling a new steep hill on my ride home, lost momentum, and down I went! Very embarrassing, and a nice lady who was driving by in the opposite direction stopped and offered to help me get up, but I managed to untangle myself and thank her for her offer.
It probably goes to show the value of trying out new riding conditions/terrain in a calm, relaxed setting . . . thank goodness this happened on a quiet street!
I will probably look for a longer, gentler route home until I'm strong enough and skillful enough for that hill.
Hope you continue to have a blast on your new bike!
