Wool blend socks and liners for windy-weather riding.
Loosened petal for clipping lead foot in and out.
Counter-clockwise adjusted right cleat, to compensate for right knee cork-screw.
And another gorgeous practice ride around Lake Merced and GGPark.
Thanks, Roaring Mouse!
Pushed off from Funston Avenue at ten this morning in the chilly morning haze to enter the Velo SF GGPark Loop route at about mile 6, and followed the route around Lake Merced, falling upon bike route 85 as I pieced my way from the bike path to busy Sunset Blvd, and up a rolling 20 blocks to the park, then back home via JFK Blvd.
A decent return to the 20 miles/week schedule, after temporary diversions from an injury after the October Bike Skills workshop, stomach flu, and odd irregularities with my right cleat.

It was a weekend for cycling: first for a little elongating of my frame and re-alignment of my right cleat at Roaring Mouse, then for a wet ride out to the ocean on Saturday morning in "mizzle" ("it's not fog and it's not drizzle--it's mizzle," says Roaring Mouse owner Chris Lane).
Sunday morning, joined the Velo Girls for a sunshiney Paradise Loop in Tiburon.
