i keep on wanting to climb zion mountain. took a new route up the hill today that was a challange. my legs were heavy and it cause me to bail out to the third ring half way up the hill. but the chain poppped off! that hasnt happened since making a mistake while shifting. so i had to hope off the bike to pop it back on. the rest bought me fresh legs and the rest of the ride though a challange was do-able.

those new shoes are making a difference. the ability to pull and push harder up the hills and on straights makes a hugh difference. although my odometer is all screwed up, it seems that im faster with these, or im just getting stronger? who knows. all in all though the shoes were a smart buy and a good price too :) probably going to take a rest day. just a ride to work and back.
