After spending the last two days getting constantly drizzled upon while riding, the clouds finally parted ways and left there nice stinking humidity. Thanks clouds, I really do appreciate it. Today I tested out my new pedals, and wow am I attached. The hold on strong and don't squeak every revolution. I'm not sure if I have the cleat position correctly in my right shoe though, because I'm getting a hotspot where the shoe doesn't even touch the pedal. Either I need to nurse my foot, move the cleat or just loosen my shoe. Regardless, it's much better than cages. This afternoon I'm heading over to Sevoian Cycles to see what it would cost to get a nice paint job for Teese. I'll let the world know the results soon enough. Note: The squirrels have gotten smarter because none tried to thread my wheels today. But it's probably just because they were asleep.
