February 20th Rides

I liked the PI Boots; I thought they might give me heel rub, but that was fine. My left foot felt a bit constricted by the end of the ride, but I think it was merely from the fact that I was overheated from wearing a mid layer that was way too heavy, along with my Ibex tights, so I was just plain hot and my foot swelled a bit. They do feel like slippers a little!
I didn't get wet because I had those little gaiters on. They are somewhat a PITA, but for the way the streets are, it's fine. I'm thinking I might put spd pedals on my road bike just for the month of March, since they were so comfy.

My son bought road bike shoes today and is getting clipless pedals. Oh, he is going down the slippery slope quite quickly....

I spent yesterday snowshoeing in the Berkshires, where it was overcast and below freezing all day and had snowed the night before. Funny that it was so warm and sunny in eastern Mass at the same time. I did a 31 mile ride today.
