Ridding in a Loafer

A couple of months ago my Dad and I headed out to ride in the Collin County Classic (an annual 30 mile group ride). The ride was close to his house, so I met him there and we took one car over to the ride. Still in a early morning haze I grabbed my gear and we were off. We arrived and I began to put on all my accessories, when I realized that I had forgotten one of my shoes. We contemplated calling it a day and heading home, but we had both been looking forward to this ride for a few weeks. We quickly assessed our options and I soon realized that I would be riding for the next two hours with one bike shoe and one loafer.
