Thursday was much cooler than earlier in the week. When I left on the ride at 5:30 pm, it was just 90 degrees F. I did the same route as last Thursday - 30 miles and 2800 feet of gain. This was the first ride with my new Look pedals (which replaced some SPD pedals). The new pedals are lighter and have a larger platform. However, they did not solve my hot spot problem on my left foot. I am amazed by the amount of float these new pedals have. It will take some getting use to.
