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.

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.

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!!!! T |

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. -A -- to email me, run my email address through /usr/bin/caesar (or rotate by -4) |

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 -- aeek |
