I would definitely take the other rear shoe off, for balance. I gotta tell you taking off shoes ain't that hard, but getting those nails out without damaging the outer wall is. I'm surprised Maggie is recommending to leave that one shoe on for a 20 miler. I guess it's cause it was a rear leg where you lost the one shoe, but, if you can get someone to take the other rear one off for you (come down here and I'll do it for free) I think that's the better way to go. cya, Howard (one of those Barefoot "nuts") ----- Original Message ----- From: C. Eyler Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2002 9:54 PM To: Ridecamp; Ectra List Subject: [RC] Missing shoe Went out to the farm to ride today (Saturday). Had planned to do our 'short
ride' today, doing 9/10 mile laps around a big, double hayfield. Found that
Jack was missing a rear shoe. Decided to ride anyway, though we only did 9
miles, all on grass.
We're scheduled to do a 'long ride' on Monday (Labor Day) with some friends,
probably close to 20 miles, in Doncaster State Forest in southern Maryland.
The terrain will be a combination of woodsy trails and gravel roads (smooth,
pebble type).
I'm not worried about the hoof without a shoe. But I am concerned about
strain to his hind end from having a St. Croix Eventer on one hoof and the
other one barefoot. Should I remove the other rear shoe?
