In a few weeks it'll be cool enough for the Fasterkatts again.
I was there Tuesday; first day of their fall hours apparently. The staff were confused as to why their shifts were ending at 7:45 instead of 9:45pm; took them a while to realize it was because they closed at 7.
I have thought about something like that, but I am too cheap. I am happy with my current setup. I actively chose to not bring my shoe covers and then I forgot to take out the insoles.
I put duct tape over my cleat holes and I wear the MEC shoe covers and some old tights similar to the adanac or vuelta tights. I have kept them nearly dry when I do that. So it works for me and I get a full shower and change at work.
I got there after a long awaited hair cut tonight at 6:45. The returns line up was at least 15 people deep and it took me ten+ minutes to take care of some returns of unsatisfactory products. So I got a few things for the in laws but not time for new gloves or shoes for me. My shoes are separating and I can fit my hand through the hole between the footbed and sole. At least 10,000 km on them.
