Dear Hibiscus:

I am so sorry to hear about your ear infection. I had one once several years ago and remember it as being very painful. I sure hope yours gets better fast. Like before your MS150. But you know if you do still have your ear infection, remember your riding at a distinct disadvantage. I've read some cycling articles that say you really strain your body when you ride with any kind of illness and it can cause undue stress on your heart. So be careful and good luck. Tell us how it works out.

I am planning on getting the speedplays. But first the shoes. Maybe by Christmas I'll have enough saved up for the speed plays. One thing at a time. Although it is amazing how one little thing can make a big difference in performance.

Good luck on the MS150. I hope the conditions won't be to windy.
