another thought I had for you Nanci regarding your cold feet: were you moving them around inside your shoes?? My commute this morning was in a headwind with 14 degree windchill and my toes got cold until I remembered to move them. I think it was SarahFixinIt (whom we haven't seen in awhile btw) who suggested placing a piece of tape over your cleats on the inside of your shoes to help keep your feet off the metal. I don't have tape over mine but I do notice when I keep my toes moving, they don't seem to get as cold.

On my feet I am wearing perfectly-fitted Sidi MTB shoes. With regular cycling socks. The shoes for sure aren't too tight, and the velcro isn't too tight, and I have plenty of wiggle room. Which I use. Which works fine for a while, or in slightly warmer weather.

A few weekends ago I wore wool trail running socks, and my feet were nice and toasty, and it happened to get to almost 80 that day, after a start at 45. So I don't think that was a fair test...

I bought a pair of shoe covers, but not PI. They aren't lined or neoprene or anything. They cut the wind a bit, but not enough.

Lise- I think about the lava fields at Kona all the time when I'm in wind! I think, whatever I'm doing, it _can't_ be as bad as that. Or maybe they over-dramatize it for TV...But those people are hot, too. It's different.

I am sick- but I will post about that in a new thread...
