I might have to look into that. <BR/><BR/>I have platform pedals now, and I imagine there must be some brand of hiking boot that would be warmer than my sneakers, at a fraction of the cost of cycling specific boots.Scott Reddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769134824821490457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015779968336479872.post-594115728589675382009-01-16T22:01:00.000-06:002009-01-16T22:01:00.000-06:00I broke down and bought the Lake Winter Cycling sh...I broke down and bought the Lake Winter Cycling shoes (more like boots). I've ridden up to 10 miles in 10-20 degrees and they were great. This week I rode in zero and sub zero but only 1-2 miles. I don't know how the longer rides at zero will be but I think they'll be great. So far I'd recommend but they are HORRIBLY EXPENSIVE. I felt guilty about buying them until this extreme cold, now I'm glad to have them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015779968336479872.post-86787394549495702102009-01-15T14:47:00.000-06:002009-01-15T14:47:00.000-06:00No worries.

My goggles rested on top of my nose, and my balaclava came up to my nostrils.<BR/><BR/>Earlier this morning after I got settled into my office, I noticed my nose in the bathroom mirror. The very tip of it is red, and just a tiny bit tender. I'm thinking I got the tiniest bit of frost bite on the only patch of bare skin exposed to the air.<BR/><BR/>I guess I need to make sure the balaclava covers the nose next time. I wear glasses, too, but they fog underneath my goggles. I am not sure if the goggles themselves will fog if I change the airflow by pulling up the balaclava. <BR/><BR/>Luckily I can see well enough to ride without my glasses, but it's possible I could miss picking out the cleanest line on gravel, cracked pavement, potholes, etc.<BR/><BR/>The 40s will be awesome. I'll look at the long range forecasts and see if the studs can come off again.Scott Reddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769134824821490457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015779968336479872.post-62288260253148653112009-01-15T14:12:00.000-06:002009-01-15T14:12:00.000-06:00Well done.

I have one of those balaclavas with a mesh mouth opening(that I cut out for easier breathing) and I had to keep fumbling to move the nose piece to the perfect spot to cover my nose, but not create fog on my glasses. I was mostly successful, but still a little frustrated when I couldn't see out of my left lens.<BR/><BR/>40's next week are very welcome!!!munsonedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878330049549526023noreply@blogger.com
