Waterproof Cycling Shoes
I had a nice mountain-bike ride last night, despite the fact that there were frequent torrential hailstorms. It was pretty cold up in the hills and the rain held off for most of the ride but the puddles were deep and the river crossings cold.
It did however give me chance to try out my new Goretex cycling shoes and the worked well. Coupled with a pair of waterproof Sealskinz socks and my waterproof cycling trousers I felt ready for anything the welsh weather could throw at me. It seemed to work. Despite being completely immersed in water up to my knees now and then I finished the ride with perfectly dry, and more importantly, nice warm feet.
It is definitely worth having the right gear as it makes things so much more comfortable and therefore more enjoyable. As i’ve heard said before… “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes!”.
Looking forward to some nice wintry rides now… And maybe some waterproof gloves!
