Ladies Ldn to Brighton Ride - Saturday 1st October

I really love the spds because I can pull up with my feet as well as push down so in a way they'd be brilliant for Ditchling. Maybe I just need to do some emergency unclipping practice between now and Saturday! :)

The SPDs were excellent on Ditchling - and I didn't actually fall over... just gave me extra incentive to keep pedalling! If you're really nervous, loosen them a little so that it doesn't take much to unclip. I have my pedals set pretty loose for commuting so that if I can get out in a hurry almost by instinct.

I'm supposed to be seeing a friend that I haven't seen for months on Saturday so unlikely to make it unless she blows me out at the last minute - has been known...
