My toes, they are cold

It was one of those borderline temperature days. Mid 40-s, light wind, perfect biking weather! I was out for two hours, starting to get a little oomph back in the legs which is nice. Trouble is, it's not cold enough to bust out the Lake winter cycling clogs, and my shoe covers were shredded last year. Needless to say, despite my wool socks my toes got quite cold. The rest of my foot? Fine, thanks for asking. Just the toes! Cycling shoes are generally made to pass lots of air through to keep you cool...not much good in January, though. Tomorrow, bike shop for shoe covers. And I need a new ratchet for one shoe...it's getting a little reluctant to let my foot out.
