Magic Slippers


These things are like having an extra gear. Yeah, I know they are yellow. That's the point. If you have yellow shoes on you had better turn yourself inside out to go as fast as possible.

I've tried to train to get faster but that only gets you so far. At some point, you have to buy speed.

Besides, all the cool kids in the pro peloton are wearing yellow shoes this year.

I wonder if Rachelle will let me wear these to church?

P.S. Tomorrow is the WRS #9 at Soldier Hollow. Salt Cycling is one of the sponsors. Come race and win some bib shorts.

They look fast. I am planning on being there tomorrow night, you?

Brandon- you racing A's or B's? I'm planning on it.

South County Ciclista said...

B's. I am not fast enough for the A's.

Yellow shoes also work for soccer (World Cup).

Now, all your missing is a belt - DOH :)

Rick Sunderlage said...

miles- that one stung a little. that belt has been haunting my dreams as of late.

You must have narrow feet. That's the luckiest foot width for cool cycling shoes. I'm stuck with one off-the-peg brand and one crazy expensive wide-width Sidi option. Then again, those Mavics ain't cheep either. Yellow is so pro!

I've had my eyes on the road shoes for some time now..

When is the next Night Championship Race... Time to put your yellow shoes to work!

Rick Sunderlage said...

Jason- I'm waiting for Brad to move and for Brandon to get sick before I schedule the next one. I want that belt.

You wear those shoes, and you better finish either first or last.

Kyle said...

Dang, I've been eyeing those shoes for a year now. Jealous.

Rick Sunderlage said...

Kyle- Let's bring the Thur Night Race to the UC so you can win some cash and buy some yellow shoes.

South County Ciclista said...

I am not going down without a fight in either Draper or the UC.

How many pillows did those shoes cost you?

You and that belt remind me of a kid that reluctantly hands over his favorite toy to a friend to "share" and then spends the rest of the time trying to get that kid to give it back. Good stuff man. I love it.

Rachelle Sunderlage said...

Shut up Jamie! You must know we're way beyond pillows.

Rick Sunderlage said...

Jamie- I should have never posted about the pillows. It's escalated way beyond pillows. I only mention this so the rest of you will learn from my mistakes.
