Something like this is a good compromise, not full on MTB shoe, but not full on smooth soled road shoe either

They're the shoes I use with the pedals posted previously Furthest I've ridden on the road was 58miles, that was without an issue. I'll be riding 26miles off road on the 13th July I can let you know how I get on then if you're not sorted by then but I largely suspect I'll be fine with that too. |

Picked my Genesis Day One up this afternoon.
![]() It's a proper grin bike and reminds me of my raleigh mirage when I was 12. Cycling to work is going to be great fun! |

The only problem I know about these bikes is that they can break around where the seat mount joins the main downtube

I'll keep a lookout for you results on Strava.
I'm going to pop over to a local TT route in the morning and see what I can do over the 10 mile course, if I'm quick enough I may have a go in the week, I've never done anything like that before... so we shall see. Hall of shame will be up on Strava in the afternoon! |

Garmin is going in the car to go on charge on the USB so I can't fail to take it.
The gator skins and conti tubes have just gone in the rims along with that rim tape ( I now see why the old stuff was so poor). The gears have all been adjusted and its ready to race. Oh and it's been cleaned ![]() uploadfromtaptalk1372450060703.jpg |
