A wonderful, if wind-riddled, ride around my old stomping ground in Connecticut. The ride went well, though I forgot my shoes back in DC. So I bought a new pair of shoes: the Shimano SH-R103B, with a carbon-reinforced sole and in a stylish blue that happens to match the color of my LeMond’s frame. I’d planned on riding for 50-or-so miles, but the wind made it much more of a workout. The foliage in central and south-central Connecticut is beautiful right now, too.
