Ironically I had new cleats in my bag and was going to change them at the end of the session.
I've gone for 0% float

They felt good this morning, with them just setup by line of sight, but I'm going to put my shoes in a jig to check the alignment.

For training and racing, I have old shoes that I use for commuting.toolonglegs wrote:You are a brave man to go 0 degrees float,is this for road riding too?.

0 deg is good if you align the cleats correctly and bad if you don't align them correctly.

Just got back from a cruisy 25k's...bit chilly out there and my throat was still a bit coarse but the legs felt good.Trying to decide if I join the boys for a big one or go and do my own thing.

You were stopped on first set of traffic light after Sutherland……..I was heading back from Waterfall when I was stopped on same set of lights but at opposite direction………mikesbytes wrote:Yes that was me, I had heavy white track gloves on.

Regardless of which club you join, you can complete in most road/track races regardless of which club hosts the race.
DHBC has track training on Monday and Wednesday nights at Canterbury (Tempe) Velodrome. Drop by one night and check it out.
Sogood and I are DHBC members, TooLongLegs is a Watarah Vets member, I'm not sure who from Sutherland is on this site.
