People are living in the building now and I took a picture of it last year when I rode by.

47 grams. That’s enough sugar to kill a horse.

So…my cycling cleats are just about dead. I am having painful hot spots on both feet and my feet just feel blah after short rides (which is all I do in the winters). My current shoes are 10+ year old Mavics with two Velcro straps in the front and mid-foot and a ratcheting style lock-in near the ankle.
I want to get new shoes and am focusing on speed of getting them on and off in transition zones during triathlons and am looking at Sidis with the Boa tie downs. Does anyone have them? Feedback? Thoughts/comments/consternations??

One other issue, the Sidi "Boa" is not really a boa but a boa-knockoff. I know some people like them but some do not. I am still using older generation Sidi Genius with two velcro straps in front and a ratchet/buckle closer to the back. I am fine with that system TBH.

I was looking at the new Sidi Genius too, but it doesn’t have the “Boa” tie downs.

I walked to my witch doctor (nurse) appointment this a.m. Thirty minutes (no Strava).
I lost a few pounds since the last weigh-in. Back in the 140s.
