Wow, you guys are dedicated! The Orinda ride got cancelled all together, so I went to gym to spin. Can't say I'm sorry I missed the rain - but the video made me feel like I was there. Thanks, Chris!

I think you did yell that you were going to stop as you had a problem (as best as I could hear from behind you).

I did have this happen to me once. As my shoes have velcro, I took my foot out so that I could assess the problem from a better vantage point. At that time, I actually had a screw fall out from my SPD cleat.

That lead me to buy a cheap ($40) torque wrench from a national store known for tools, find my shoe specs, and realize that they recommended 6lbs of torque on the cleat screws. 6lbs is a fair amount of torque.

The torque wrench also comes in handy for multiple other uses with carbon frames.

A socket-based Allen wrench can do the trick. I don't think the multi-tool Allen wrenches are good for non-road repairs.

If I remember, or if I get prodded, I'll bring my sockets and torque wrench next ride I do.

Contrats to all who rode - but I do think you're a little crazy. I opted for back to back spin classes at the gym, and I'm very glad I did. Maybe i'll see you Sunday.

Yeah, commuting through the Peninsula is a well-intended, but horrifying mess. I tried being creative on my ride home to Santa Clara and then gave up. Central Expressway is nice, wide, and seems sparsely travelled, but by the time I get to it (San Antonio), there's not much point in deviating away from El Camino Real. Oh well.

Perhaps check your caching settings.

Chris,
you will be fine. your muscles have memonries. they dont just forget that fast. i thought i just want to share my story about my bike crash about 2 months ago. so my ALC 8 is out. it happened on a bike path on my way back to orinda bart station. it was on 3/8/09. i broke bones C7(my neck)T4 (back) and 8 ribs. it was the worse crash ever. they kept me in the hospital for 4 days. i had to wear my neck brace for 6 weeks. i'm healed now. believe or not, i went on a short ride from sf sport basement to tiburon (30 mile loop) two weeks ago. i ran into alot ALC8 folks who were doing the "day on the ride". i felt fine when i got home. i thought i would die but i didnt.
anyway, i missed cat 3 ride this year. i guess i see you next year.
