Ahhh..
Wafflycat I have to make an admission.

I cannot wear contacts
Have you tried?
I have an admission: I am a wimp when it comes to my eyes.
It took me a month to get used to contacts (years ago I had softs), and then putting them in & taking them out became second nature (a bit like getting used to clipless pedals).
Then I went years without wearing them and stuck to wearing spectacles.
It was the weather of the DunRun 07 which got me back on to contacts: daily disposibles this time round. It's no fun cycling at night, in torrential rain, effectively rendered blind due to the rain not clearing from your specs, and the water on the lenses turning onecoming headlights into a bright kaleidoscope in your vision... no fun at all and positively dangerous. It's why I ditched out of completing the run.
I don't wear contacts every day, but I do if I'm going to be doing a long'ish cycle ride. Then I can wear 'normal' shades as eye protection and if it rains heavily, I can look over the top of them and actually see where I'm going
