Here's a great discussion on how to change your SIDI heel pad if the screw is so worn that you can't unscrew it.

Basically, just use All The Tools to destroy what's left of the heel pad, which gives access to the screw so you can get at it with pliers.

Next time, I won't let the heel pad get so worn down.

Are there any plans to meet at Summer Streets or ride as a group? Tomorrow if the rain forecast is wrong, I’m thinking of bringing my bike in via ferry from Queens to 34th Street. I’m a pre-C newbie. Thanks.

FWIW

I recieved the following Tweet from the @njpalisades:

Friday Aug. 2: Henry Hudson Drive from Dyckman Hill Road north to Alpine Circle will be CLOSED TO ALL USE until 8AM

Received 10:11PM. note that the Palisades Interstate Park website does not get frequent updates and their Twitter account is the best way to find out about last minute changes and closures. This closure in not currently showing on the website.

(Yes, David Brooks, a conservative. I'm pleased to be known as one unregenerate lefty-rad-pinko-socialist-progressive who reads conservatives and thinks about and considers conservative thought.)
