Cold December


The first 7 days of December have been very cold. The commute into work was in the 20's and I skipped out on the Saturday Snowhomish ride this week because it was 15 degrees and my leg feel ready for rest anyway.

On the equipment front, I am currently chaning from speedplay frogs to crankbrothers eggbeaters. I would have made the change 10 years ago by they had a problem with wearing grooves into the bottoms of shoes. I saw now that they offer steel protective plates to resolve that issue an the pedals can be had for as little as $28 for the stainless steel version so I figured I had no reason to wait any longer. Sure enough, after only 2 weeks, grooves did develope so I ordered steel protectors for all my shoes. Looking forward to trying them out with fresh legs and warmer weather next week.
