2011 Ride #15 Clipped in at Boyette

This ride actually took place on 2/27, I just forgot to enter the details. It was a fantastic day out weatherwise - in another few weeks we are going to wish we still had this weather.

At any rate - this was the first time riding clipped in at Boyette. I had my reservations about doing this out there - but today I just put the pedals on and brought my shoes out and rode. There was only one corner I unclipped and walked (the same one twice) but it was so different being coupled to the bike out there. I have built up enough strenght now that even if I was a little over zealous with the brakes on the decent, I could lean forward and power through the climbs. Being clipped in certainly helps get back lost energy (and you can pull up as well as push down).

At any rate, ride stats and map:
