And....Clif Bars for $0.90 each. Sure. Not $0.03, but I got only 2!

I'm debating heading over to REI. I mean...what do I need??? I didn't even really NEED those socks!
REI in rockville had some smartwool women's running socks, baby blue with white patterns on them, size large for about $3. I'd assume they work great for cycling as well.

I guess I was by Performance while at REI, but have really never shopped there, so it didn't occur to me to go in. I really only go to REI about twice a year during the superclearances.

I actually needed the sidi shoes, I've mauled the pair of cheap cannondales I was riding in all summer, and I'd bought the sidis from chainlove... (for more than I paid on REI) and they were just a bit on the tight side in the toe box, and I'd been putting aside dealing with a return exchange for the correct size until after the holidays. Now I just have to return them because I have the right size for cheaper.
