Those are probably fine. Just keep in mind that the crank bros pedals don't have adjustable release tension like SPD pedals do. Might not be a big deal, but a lot of folks just getting into clipless like to lower the tension to make it easier to get out until they get used to it. Also shoes are something that you want to make sure you have a good fit in (sorta like ski boots) so buying them online may not yield the best results.

That sounds fine, but you need not worry about holding me up. I'm sure you're in better shape than I am...

I do most of my riding in the area around what is called 5 ponds (I think), which is to the right of 63 on the [urlhttp://www.whitememorialcc.org/map1large.html]map[/url], and the dirt roads that are behind it. I usually make a loop that includes at least a small section of the trails across 63 too.
