I had Veteran's Day off, so I planned to have a good ride. After dropping the kids off at school, I decided it would be a good time to change out my cleats. As I was doing so, I noticed a strange wobble to the sole of my right shoe. Yep, the sole had cracked at the cleat mount. So, instead of riding right away, I popped over to Mt. Airy Bikes and rummaged through their shoe stock to find some shoes to replace my old Sidis. Finally I found pair that fit and bought them. Ouch$$$. Oh well, if they last as long as the last pair, it will amortize out pretty well.
I headed back to the Lake Linganore area, where I rode with my daughter the other day. Parking in my old neighborhood, I went down to the beach to start my ride.
