    I did it. I forced myself out the door and I did it. 6.68 miles on a multi-use trail. Managed not to fall. Although i did hit a small steep up hill at the entrance to the trail in too high of a gear and came damn close to sliding back down. The Looks are a lot harder to pull out of than my campus pedals. Need to remember that. I also forgot my riding gloves, which I realized about a mile and a half into the ride. My elbow and shoulder and complaining to me about that one. I now have the gloves and the shoes sitting on a shelf together so I won't make that mistake a second time.

    Thank you for the encouragement

    Good reminder - and I should put mine by my helmet -as I can usually remember to grab that. We did a ride a fews weeks ago that required 100 miles of driving and I managed to forget my shoes...
    Fortunately was my Surly ECR that has power grip pedals so I could ride with my chaco's and my "urban" merrills
