I actually got to ride my bike today. She’s quiet again and shifts like a dream. Glad I took her in.
The shoes. They fit well. A pair of Shimanos, because they were on sale and had my size (admittedly not the best way to choose cycling shoes, but it was the best way I had time and money for). In a perfect world I’d have at least a few days to get used to the fit and dial in the cleat placement but I don’t so, you know…
I don’t have much else to say right now. I’m ready for the workday to end and for the weekend to begin. Here’s a little pre-Fondo walk down memory lane:

You bought new shoes? What’s wrong with your other new shoes?
Nice watching that film again. Bottle of Filth makes a brief cameo at 1.39.

See previous post about how the bolt hole for the cleat was stripped on my other “new” (2 year-old shoes).

Ah yes, missed that. Glad you found a replacement pair.
I haven’t bought any new shoes, but I did buy some awesome tallboys of craft ale.

Craft beer tallboys. I’m checking that off my to-do list. It was the only thing I bothered to write down, so I guess we’re ready.
