For many months I have been riding with Shimano RD075 shoes. During this time I have not been that satisfied with how they have felt. Today for some reason I thought I would ride with my older Diadora shoes. I have always felt comfortable in these shoes but they are worn and need new Keo cleats. Today’s ride was much more comfortable with them and so when I got home I looked at Nashbar.com to see if they had any Diadora shoes on sale. Lo and behold they did. My first slection was not in the color I prefer (black) but I found another pair that was in lack. sometimes I am miffed at websites and how they word things. Nashbar said the inventory status was “low”. I am not sure exactly what this means; you either have the item in inventory or you don’t. So I will wait to see if my order ships. The Diadora shoes always had the best fit for feet; wide toe box, the size was correct, durable.<\/p>\n

During today’s ride the heat index was 102 with the temperature at 95 degrees or 98 degrees on my weather station at home. Partly cloudy with a slight wind from the south. I did see one other biker; a man riding a recumbent bike with a faring windshield. This was unusual. Riding during the middle of the day drives home the heat. Perspiration continues to flow from my pores at a liberal pace.<\/p>\n
