The Great Cleat Exchange Bike Ride
A couple of days ago as I was biking I had this idea about the cleats on the Shimano shoes I was wearing. Why not exchange the cleats to get extra life out of them? I usually put my right foot down whenever I stop and the cleat gets beat from the concrete and asphalt. So before today’s ride I exchanged the cleats. Here is what they look like after the exchange.
In the top down view the cleat at the top is now on the right shoe and the worn cleat is on the left shoe. The side view has the left shoe at the top and the right shoe at the bottom. The right shoe cleat looks new from the side. Now I don’t have to spend $20 so soon.
In a bid to get to 200+ miles for the week I rode the “Atascocita – Walden” route for a total of 22.4 miles pushing the week to 210 miles. I am at 546 miles for June with 256 left to reach my goal.
I changed the route up some by mixing up the sequence by riding Atascocita Shores Drive first and then through Walden.
Starting the ride at 12:14 put me in the “heat” of the day; 94 degrees when I finished bicycling at 1:59 pm. The Mostly cloudy sky held the sun back some and the SE 10 mph breeze didn’t slow me down too much. Riding my Blue Norcross AL bike was nice.
More great weather tomorrow so the road beckons me to bicycle.
