Tuesday’s wonderful weather prompted me to head out to the Tree Farm (aka Novi’s Lakeshore Park) for a ride on the El Mariachi. It was a great ride, and I’m finding that I really like the Specialized Comp shoes (as shown above). Now that the top of the tongue and area around the heel has slightly broken in they Just Fit, and seem to have a better overall feel than my previous (and likely very worn) old SIDIs.
I was quite happy that I was able to hang on with the faster group of folks at the front, especially when riding a completely rigid single speed. At one point while riding the pump track (and doing what I thought was a good job) I waffled on whether to exit the track or keep riding, and in doing so washed out my front wheel and fell. Save for some scrapes on my arm and knee I wasn’t hurt at all, so there’s my first fall of the year. I guess it’s a good way to start.
