I am looking for some winter cycling boots (for wet, not sub-zero conditions) which are waterproof so you dont have to add booties or sealskins and have a fairly high, unpadded ankle. Most lightweight hiking boots have padding which makes it more difficult to fit overpants around the boot.
And modern computers generate a lot heat themselves. I lay my damp stuff on a non-functioning computer (as a sort of rack) and align my little "personal fan" so that the heat from the back of the working computer is fanned at the clothes. Stuff is dry in no time!

I was hoping to get some GoreTex socks with my latest order from Performance but they were sold out of my size. I need to see if my road booties will fit over my MTB/hiker style SPD shoes.
