And I do mean little. A little over 14 miles to be exact. I road to a friends house which lives about 7 miles from me in another city and we had a small meeting. After about 45 minutes or so I left and went to another friends house and stayed about the same amount of time. I left there, got about half a mile up the road and then the bottom fell out. Stormed all the way home.
I got new pedals, cleats and new shoes. I’m not sure if I have the cleats set just right but so far I’m not having any issues. I am having issues with clipping in on my left pedal. I’m sure it will come with time but I had a lot of trouble and in the most inopportune time. I stopped at a traffic light and unclipped. After the light changed to green I had to start up this steep hill. I never did get that left foot clipped in until after I got up that hill. I was wore out. I stopped a couple of times trying to practice but it seemed to do no good. I can do if fine while stopped but while riding it’s another story. Like I said, I’m sure it will come with time.

After this posted I re read this. I can remember when 14 miles was thought to be an unreachable amount of miles. After about 5 miles I was done. So, in light of that thought, 14 miles may not be so little after all. I guess it’s just a matter of how you look at it.
