Do any of you ride in the rain?

[Thistle]

DH and i went to our very lbs.. just opened in Gungahlin, and each got another pair of shoes. made for an exciting morning is there anything more fun that buying bike gear??

He got himself a pair of "real" mountain bike shoes (cos he loves mountain biking) and i got a pair of Shimano MT40's... very cool

I heard on the news yesterday we have had thunderstorms for the past 14 days in a row ... all in the afternoon. It's kinda like Darwin, 30 degrees, then a massive thunderstorm with booming thunder every afternoon. I've gotta say i love it , but up until Wed the amount of rain had been pretty poor.

But, they are predicting the pattern will start over again this wed/thurs, so now i'm prepared.

Yes, Trek, i have hardy feet. Not even the coldest mornings have made an impact on my tootsies. My hands on the other hand omg... last winter i thought i was going to die , but i finally found a pair of gloves which combined with liners did NOT result in my fingers feeling like they were going to snap with cold.

It's funny to read the post about you guys getting daylight saving soon. I've noticed it's quite dark in the mornings when i leave for uni (6.40am)... we'll soon be complaining of the cold and you'll be complaining about the heat

We ride in the rain all the time and use Sugoi Resistor Booties. They're great--lightweight, keep you quite dry.

hi salsabike,
do you find the sizings of the Sugoi botties are accurate... I've looked at the sizing chart on your link for the booties, I wear a size 39 shimano cycling shoe and a size 7-7.5 shoe. Do you think it would fit if I got a pair of size S (7-8.5/40-42) booties.
A friend bought a pair of booties (not Sugoi) from a UK site, following the size on the charts, and they were really a size too small. I like to avoid having to do returns when possible.
