I am wearing a pair of shoes. They are ugly shoes. Uncomfortable shoes. I hate my shoes. Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair. Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step. Yet, I continue to wear them. I get funny looks wearing these shoes. They are looks of sympathy. I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs. They never talk about my shoes. To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable. To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them. But, once you put them on, you can never take them off. I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes. There are many pairs in this world. Some have learned how to walk in them so they don’t hurt quite as much. Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt. Yet, because of these shoes I am stronger These shoes have given me the strength to face anything. They have made me who I am. I love my Sidi shoes......

Sidi shoes, Sidi shoes I want you so bad!!!!!!!!

So it is Saturday morning and we are off to ride a casual mtb track in Pretoria. I thought well it is time to get ride of the normal pedals and change them with spd pedals. Now remember this is the first time out with the pedals where my feet is attached to the pedals, something new for me! Right everything is setup and checked the night before. Off we go and getting to the place take off the bikes a lot of people around us i get on the bike and forget once i have clicked in move your heel to the out side no no no i forgot and in the parking area i fell over busted my knee blood running. Well i am here let just continue with a super red and a damaged leg we are off. It is not even 10 km on the track and again i come plundering down from a hill over the handle bars hitting my hip to a numb on a rock. Everyone laughs as i came down, with the one girl saying i thing you should take off the pedals or rather walk. At the end of the day my new nick name is "click, click" Well i must say total of 8 falls within the first week with spd pedals and a lot of laughing, i still continue to concur the amazing nature and mtb trails.
