Worked real late? It's 7:00 and you've already commuted home. What'
real late for you? 5:30 ? ;

Get some wooly ones!!! Smartwool!!! Ground Effect!!!

They might not repel water, but they keep you feet warm without tha
abrasive squelchy feeling that cotton inflicts when sodden.

I wear them at the least sign of rain. But then I was born on the N
English coast.

You are not alone on on this topic.

Getting socks wet that are dry when I put them on are not a prob. I really
hate putting on socks that are already wet from the mornings ride to ride
home especially when it's no longer raining. Usually if I remember I'll
carry a second pair of socks just in case but even this doesn't solve the
wet shoes problem and the socks just get damp anyway :-(

So even more than wet socks I hate wet shoes.

wear Sandals, GroundEffect Lucifers effectively give you shoe bodie
that you can dry separately & even carry spares.

Do UCI regulations prohibit sandals

Yeah, that's a pretty poor effort at working late. I'm working late,
planning on going home at 6:00. In the morning, that is :-)

If anyone tries to tell you a doctorate is a good idea, give 'em a good
swift kick up the bum and tell 'em to F*&% OFF!!!!

Has anyone tried out any of the various incarnations of SPD sandals?

That's what I ride in all year round here in balmy Canberra, SH-SD60B,
what the're different ones?

they're the $160 ones, right?

the local rebel sport (which has a competent guy in charge of the bike
section, but a GODAWFUL range) had something for about $70. forgotten what
brand, though.

Tried to get another 2 pairs for cleatless use but the distributo
didn't believe the 2. Might sacrifice a pair to racing cleats, but I'
not that keen on using/buying shoes while I see what racing like, th
money's for a race bike

Goretex oversocks sort that, your shoes will still get wet, but the socks
will be dry.
