Potential women-only ride in/near Seattle - help wanted!

I had my Carnac covers on. Pretty much any neoprene covers work wonders but your feet will still get wet. I drilled a couple of extra holes in the bottom of my cleats to let water out. I also throw in a hand warmer or two into them if it's really cold

hmmmmm have you been up here for a winter yet? You'll probably want some booties that keep your feet dry (at least for a while) once it starts getting colder and raining. I've sealed around my cleats with silicon sealer and it works for a while (but I wear mt bike shoes in the winter too, so its a little easier to seal up around the cleat). Hand/toe warmers do work wonders if you can fit them in your shoes.

I was here for last winter. 6 days of no power.. I didn't ride much last winter, I was too busy shooting. This winter I'm going to ride. I'm going to invest in some serious winter boots. I had a pair of Sidi winter boots that I liked but somehow, my feet grew so I need a new pair. I'll have to get a pair of those covers, they look pretty snazzy. Costco has deals on handwarmers about this time of year. I'm SERIOUSLY tempted to get a new Cross bike but I think SWMBO might object..

Costco has the handwarmers now - I've got my box at $15 for 40 pairs its a deal that can't be beat. If my feet weren't too small I'd be all over a pair of those winter boots - but no one makes them in a 37....... I make do with mt bike shoes, storm socks, wool socks and shoe covers. Between the storm socks and the Sugoi booties I can actually stay pretty dry.

Put your old Sidi's up on Craig's list right about now and I'll bet they'll go in a minute.
