Great ride in today. I do so enjoy reading all the stories of cold weather prior to heading out into a southern hemisphere summer!
Today was my first proper ride with my new shoes, and they are much more comfortable. Whilst getting the cleats set up on them I also had a monkey around with the handlebar angle and seat angle, I think it feels more comfortable. Amazing what a difference degree or two of adjustment makes. Time will tell if it's stays confortable on a longer ride. But this morning it felt great, and I made good time.
