I did a 60-mile ride today (yippee!!!!) in a group of nine, LOTS of hills so I am going to bed with the chickens tonight. I made it OK but my main problem was my feet--hot, numb and tired no matter how much wiggling I did. I am using Shimano mtn bike shoes and SPD pedals that are platform and you can clip in on both sides. Post-ride, everybody said, no wonder your feet hurt, get some harder soled road shoes. Called the LBS and they said Nike ventoux or altea would work with my pedals. Then he said I should perhaps think about changing clipless pedals and buy shoes to go with them. Well, I like my pedals and especially like that I can ride a bit without clipping in if I have trouble doing so. Advice? Thanks!!!
