No, the SIDIs were so uncomfortable when I tried them on. I have duck feet with a very small arch. I loved the way the $250 all carbon Shimanoes felt, but they do not offer heel replacements and I know my luck. I'll buy the Shimanoes and the heel will go bad within a year!
So, I'm hoping that the specialized (which do offer heel replacements) will feel as good as the Shimanoes did.
Hmmmm.....maybe I'll head up to Montrose before picking up my bike.

Thanks, Herb. I did call and I may drive up there as they have all styles and women's sizes. I'm also calling Bicycle John's. Thanks for the suggestions! 
And now, shameless plug for Budget Pro Bicycles in Eagle Rock (my favorite LBS) - I just called David and asked him if he thought I should upgrade my pedals and if that would make a difference. He outright said, "no, your pedals are just fine, M.E. Save your money." He most certainly and easily could have talked me into higher priced pedals!

Of course. Mine's a fixed gear that I leave at work. I've done lunchtime errands in from Mission Valley to downtown SD (10+ miles) on it.
I crashed again on my MTB. Rode off the downhill side of a single, hit a dirt clod and over the bars. WWWEEEEE!!!! Crashing is fun if you don't get hurt.

I do really like them for that..Dave has definitely talked me out some truely unnecessary purchases...pretty unusual for an LBS I think.
Sorry the Sidi's dont work..they are truely awesome...have you looked at Diadora? or any other brands beside shimano?

Came back from my Saturday ride. I was late to the start and accidentally hoped onto the B group instead of my usual C+. There's a large speed gap and it was quite painful. Was able to keep up for the first 35 miles or so at the tail of the pack, then got dropped on PCH. Fell back after a few stop signs and couldn't catch up. 
Going out for lunch and to pick up some drugs for tomorrow's ride along the way.

So, I go Patsy back from the Salon today and she sure looks purdy with her new wheels and all. They feel good too, as I took her for a spin. I can definitely tell a difference.

Bontrager Race Lites. Lee sold them to me at a steal and then delivered them to me to boot (I sure like them Texans...and that one in particular ). Thing is, I'm so damn dumb sometimes, I actually have had them a few months. Why I didn't put them on before now, I just don't know. My lbs laughed at me and shook their heads. They told me that this wheelset is at least two upgrades from the stock set I had.
