For the most part both the roads and MUP on my commute route have melted down to pavement. Through the park my choices for lane positioning have been reduced to left tire track or right tire track, trying to ride in any other position would be extremely precarious.

I decided to order a larger pair of Lake winter cycling boots and sell my old ones as I needed a bit more space in them. However when they arrived today, despite going one size larger and from regular to wide width, they were actually smaller than my current boots. The last thing Lake needed to do was start making the MXZ302s even smaller.

I sent those ones back and will just stick with my old ones this winter. I got a Hotronic foot warmer on clearance last spring. Since they can generate between 158-168F on the highest setting, that should keep my toes warm with a thinner sock.
