Gabe, I have a pair of those shoes as my MTB shoes. Not the best for off roading if you have to get off and push in muddy conditions, but my MTB riding is generally fairly casual. Specialised shoes seem to fit my broad kiwi feet pretty well. Quite flexy soles though.

This weekend has been a really good food weekend. I got home from Saturday's race to a plate of baked food (samples of next week's morning and afternoon teas, biscuits, muffins and coconut bread) and a lentil and sausage dish bubbling away in the slow cooker for dinner. We had coconut bread for brekkie this morning. Plus today we had home made leek and spud soup for lunch and a very nice Malaysian beef curry for dinner.

Watching the ABs vs the Paddy 1st XV last night was hard work as we never had the lead till mid way through the 2nd half. The Wallabies vs the Pommie gits will be interesting tonight. Go the Wallabies, they deserve some cuccess before the ABs hammer them in the Bledisloe!
