My inversion table gives me a headache and makes me nauseous so far, but it does seem to help my back a bit, or at lease enough to be a decent placebo.

Hikers, I have some Garmont Dakotas that are fairly lightly used. Size 11. They're about 6 years old but a size too small so I haven't warn them much at all. I'd part with them for shipping costs.

With a lot to carry or in really rough terrain I like a boot with a stiff sole. For day hiking when the footing isn't too extreme I like a very light shoe that is barely a boot. You have to have more than one pair of foot ware, just like you need more than one pair of wheels.

These boots are so powerful that they killed the twitter feed:
I'm so sorry.

That and the fact that it had almost 60,000 posts and 3000 pages.

I use a pair of Meindl Island Pro boots for hiking. I'm not the most co-ordianted and require a nice sturdy boot I can just place anywhere. I need to get some lighter boots/shoes for some of the well maintained tracks or day trips.

I think it's time I actually got some clipless road-bike shoes and pedals.
What's a good, reasonably priced pedal and shoe. I have short, wide feet; wear orthotics to correct my knee mis-tracking and roll my feet outwards and am prone to hot/numb feet.
I suck at racing anyway so I don't need to handicap myself further by using toe clips and straps. I'm using an old (NOS) pair of cyclecross shoes with slotted cleats that work for me. Or should I forgo new shoes and just actually do some training before races?

I wouldn't talk RAAM here much but it is a dude I've ridden with. Funny, he was never really fast and he used to be kind of dickish, but he has mellowed and has more of a sense of humor after doing the thing 3 times and finishing twice.
He does love an egg mcmuffin on the bike.

I was looking at shoes myself today - but bike shoes.
Bonts/Sworks/Shimano
I have a good opportunity to do some shopping over the next while.
The insurance payout looks to be decent.

Got there too late for the open mic signout. Chilled there for a little bit. Talked to a few interesting people whose kind I don't see very often. I'll probably go back next week.
Now for bed.

not a bad idea. but I don't know if I'd like to race in them. should have mentioned it's for my "race" bike. my other bikes have either platform pedals or MTB pedals.
