Bu99er ... just noticed sole of both cycle shoes coming significantly adrift at the heel ... hope LBS has new ones in my size tomorrow morning ;-(
Just think of it as a way to let the water out.

My scan of forecasts on yr.no, Weather spark and XC weather returns an average of 'Wear waterproofs and there won't be too much to worry about'.
It is not like me to be so laissez faire when it comes to the weather.
It is only water. At the end of the day.....
Come armed with dry duplicate gloves and sox (inna dry bag) and you'll prolly wonder what the fuss was all about, and where are the rest of the people who said they'd be on this ride?
Just sayin'....
Oh. May. He. Eat. His. Words.
I may be experimenting with a Marigold product and the ingress protection of my overshoes.
That in itself should be sufficient to cause those considering hiding under the duvet for the night to change their minds.

I'm torn on this one. I really want to ride my second FNRttC and you're coming to my home town! But I have an unhappy knee that has been complaining with gradually increasing vociferousness on longer rides. I think it's a slightly torn cartilage (I've had a couple before...feels similar). Getting it cold and wet and then stop-start riding on it for 6 or 7 hours probably isn't the wisest course of action. And yet... Oh I don't know. I'll see you if I see you I guess. If I don't, have a splendid ride!

A voice in the wilderness, I know, and I've said this loads of times, but mittens are miles better than gloves. You need nice big ones with soft palms, none of this reinforcement nonsense. If you simply must wear gloves, then the only ones worth having, and the very best that money can buy, are British Army Afghanistan issue leather gloves, found on eBay for about £15. Get a large size so your fingers are not squeezed and in colder weather you can wear thin ones underneath. That is the end of the public information broadcast.
