Well, I'm officially stupid on several counts!
1) Had a cough recently but as I felt fine other than that I went for a ride. 30k later and it felt like I had swallowed barbwire and after going to bed at 10, I woke up at midnight in a cold sweet. I'm stubborn though so that's my excuse.
2) I drive past a road that's closed every day but you can get around it on a bike. So I thought coming from the other direction wouldn't be a problem. Nope, no getting past at the other end.
3) Another closed road but I could get around it by walking on the grass verge. Tried to clip back in but spent the next 10 minutes sitting on a wall picking mud out of the cleats with sticks that kept breaking because they were wet from rain.
Then one last one, first time clip less yesterday and had two moments. First was outside my front door. Clipped in my right foot and it was at a 6 o'clock position. Pushed off with my left and 'oh dear, can't pedal
. Second was at a junction and I already had my left foot unclipped. I had to stop for a car but I must have had my weight to the right and whoops. Ended up with a small scratch on the right pedal and on on the RD. Not to pleased but at the end of the day it could have been worse I suppose.
Anyway, ended up with this and I found I was using higher gears with the new pedals.

During the ride I had a bit of a pain on the inside of my left knee and then today it feels stiff soft of behind the knee cap at the top but I have had problems with my left knee before I started cycling. I've heard that clip less pedals can cause knee pain so could it be that or should I see how the next ride (after I've got over what ever I've got) goes or should I look at moving the cleats? If I should move the cleats, how do you know what direction to move them in?
it was horrible, and windy. Frankly I'm amazed people use these bikes, they are stupid. The wind also didn't help. I might try 70+miles on saturday to make up for being such a pansy today
off out somewhere with the lady might even push the boat out and have some cake, hope the weather isn't to bad were you all are and enjoy your riding.
