My (former) friend Bryan Robertson led me on a 20 mile endurance test today on the mountain bike in Dupont. This was my first ride on clipless pedals. For those that dont know, clipless pedals actually clip your shoes to the pedals (think ski bindings). So since you are actually clipped in, naturally they are called clipless. Go figure. You must twist your foot outward to release your shoe from the pedal. My brain is not yet trained to do that, which resulted in multiple times of being horizontal and on the rocky ground. So I have a few battle scars from today. I also threw my chain which got tangled up in my rear shifter cable and mangled it. So my chain is ruined as well as the cable. I dropped the bike off for repair at the shop on the way home. My own repair will take time. It was an awesome ride!!! BTW, my orthopedic surgeon told me I need to quit jogging for the sake of my knees. Ride your bike he said. Yeah, well....
