Congratulations Shelley! I had lots of false starts with clipless and at one point decided it was way too much trouble and went back to toeclips for a while. I'm so impressed with how well you took to it right from the begining

Thanks for the info about the nike shoes. I tend to think of Nike shoes as running narrow but that's running shoes. I've never tired them as cycling shoes. I also have wide feet and cycling shoes just don't seem to accomidate for that. Right now I use some cheap Shimano mountain bike shoes with my Speadplay frogs, love the pedals hate the shoes. Do you know what model your Nike's are?

Oh and congratulations on the long ride too!
