Went on my weekly Wednesday Night Ride. Got about an hour and a half of decent riding in. My feet froze though, I think I am going to buy a cheap pair of shoes a few sizes too large so I can wear a few pairs of warm socks.

No ride planned, but Splat invited me to ride with his gang. Does that count? I had to turn it down because I have a haircut appointment after work. Really, I seriously need a haircut. Man, now that I type that, it looks very lame. :rolleyes: Oh well.

I did lift weights last night and will do it again tonight.

I've got some, they don't seem to help me that much. So much heat still gets transfered through the sole and cleat. Not to mention my regular shoes may be a bit tight. I think a few layers of soft comfy merino wool socks is the way to go for me.

Man there are just some thing that you would be better off keeping to yourself. :sneaky:

I need a haircut pretty bad too, I'm too lazy to do anything about it though.

Rode 12 or so miles last night. Lots of wildlife. Trails are a little loose at the place we rode. May bail from work early and ride in the light by myself. Didn't get cold last night like was predicted. Not sure when it will. I haven't watched the weather in some time.

Edit - it's nice to have just a short blurb about a ride to include rather than just my witty remarks.

You will certainly not want to post about the haircut experience when you are done. I tell you from experience, no good will come of it. :rolleyes:

There is also some ?"salve"? that warms up your feet too, but i've never used it, and i've heard that too hearty an application can toast the poodies beyond the level of comfort.
Here's another idea from this website for some socks they only want a million dollars for them....

No, I only mentioned it as it relates to my lack of riding tonight. There will be no post-haircut discussion. :monkey:

Trust me, when I'm all warm and toasty with my oversized shoes with duct tape covering the vents and double weight wool socks everyone is going to be jealous. I will be starting a trend that can only be matched by 12 grain bread and grapples.

It was a good ride. Temps in the mid 50's with a gusty north wind.* Explored a new trail that the rangers are building. Tight switchbacky descents and climbs. Going to be fun when it is done.





*Loco the front is here. It will be cold (by Texan standards) by the time you ride.

10 on Saturday cool with you??? Me and Kevin for sure. Ron won't tell us whether his friend is cool with 10 or not. I am planning for me now.
