September 5, 2004

Today I bought a new pair of cycling shoes. My original ones are softer soled. These are much stiffer. The weather looks bad for the rest of the week. It figures.

Nikon D70 ,Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S
1/60s f/22.0 at 112.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Cool shot, Mark. They will provide a good contrast to your 'monochrome' outfit. Looking forward to seeing them 'in action'.

Sure you tried to get a non-flashy pair -- since when do cyclists go for non-flashy colors?! I'll believe it when you post a photo with them muddy, scuffed, and bloody (sort of like some of your leg shots). :) In any event, your photo looks as good as any Nike ad.

I forgot to say, I asked them if they had these shoes in a less "fashionable" color. Like maybe black and gray? Nope. I was stuck with this. Personally I think they'll clash with my black shorts and white shirt. :-) These are "pretty serious shoes" but they are about half the price of the "really serious shoes." And forget the "totally serious shoes."

Snazzy shoes. Quite a beautiful blue. You are quite a serious cyclist, aren't you. Sorry about the weather.

What a gorgeous color Mark. You'll be the hottest dude on the trail. Very clean and well executed shot.
Are you planning on entering some kind of bike contest?

Nice shoes! I am glad to see that you didn't go with the covers....
