Looking for some firetrails so I can get used to my SPD's
I was thinking of taking a ride this sat to try out my SPD's, never ridden in them before apart from in the carpark and promptly fell off the first time I stopped.
I'd be keen for a ride round Cascades (non technical) or Terrey Hills unless other people have some suggestions?
Failing that I'll take a leisurely ride out and try not to get lost!

I did the mistake of riding at the Manly Dam the first time in SPDs and obviously fell off many times
Terry hills and duckhole are very good and easy places to ride them in confidence. Or even the Oaks

twist that foot out before you stop or learn to trackstand, you'll be fine!
You also might want to loosen up the screws that tension up the cleats so you can twist out easier and as time progresses you will want to increase the tension.

That was definately the problem first time around, I'll play around with it and see whats best.
