TAN #29 The case of the disappearing TAN (Page 22)

Hey it was a WORK picnic, and the big boss wore one... although I was kind of commandeered by Leilani (if you look at the Sunday blog entry, she's the lady in the orange wrap) who brought the skirts (she's Hawaiian) to the party.

Besides, I like Pink.

Thank you! Um, I think.

I really didn't follow the hula dance rules much. I just jumped around like I was slam dancing, except without the, um, slam. 

Hey, whatever it takes. I'm TOUGH.

Speaking of tough, what do you think of 110 miles plus 11,000' of climbing in September?

The cleat is much bigger, so you have more power transfer. Now, some people really like Speedplays, and if you have knee issues, those are great pedals. The downside is with Speedplays, the cleat mechanism is actually on the bottom of your shoe rather than on the bike itself... and if you get any mud/debris/etc. in there, the cleat won't engage. In a race, that's not a good thing.

With the LOOKS, if you get some mud or something while running out of transition on your shoe, you simply can wipe off with the pedals and get going. I know you can because I did a century ride where it had been raining the week before, and when I stopped at the rest stops, I got mud on the bottom of my shoes. No problem clipping in.

Wow. That is an uber-sweet deal. Those are going to look really nice on the new bike.
