Every other rider: "Ah new shoes! Are you feeling the difference?"
Me: "Yeah.."
I'm not really.... It's a bit more about "cycling" (geddit?) my foot rather than taking turns and pushing down, but to be honest, I couldn't say it felt really different...
I'm not breaking my records on everything or anything..
Although, I spoke to my husband and because it's an efficiency thing, maybe I'm just less tired afterwards..
I guess it's hard to tell because this morning, I went a bit slower up the hills to try and maintain a sustainable pace.
I had this illogical thought that if I slowed down any more, I would stop / roll down the hill and figured a group ride was a good place to test this illogical thought.
It was perfectly fine to go slower (of course!).
Hopefully, if I can try and find a sustainable speed / pace, especially (and not crack) up Torrington, this will prepare me for the longer hill rides..
[EDIT: I was just thinking that my current apprehension of clip stacking resulting in slower, cautious riding may be negating any substantial benefits gained by the pedals.]
