Houstonrider - 2010-01-01 2:09 PMQuick question...... How do ya'll keep your feet from freezing when riding in the winter. It was 37 degrees when we started today and 41 degrees at the end of the ride and my toes were numb. I was using wool winter riding socks and might as well have been sock less.

bzgl40 - 2009-12-30 3:47 PM Ok, so who wants to suffer?  I need to do a LTHR running test and think if I am going to go suffer you all should go suffer as well. 

kjivie - 2010-01-02 2:45 PM I was taught not to hate, so I will just say I seriously dislike you for throwing this out there.  Just finished it and you were right...it was about 19min and 45sec of torture.  LTHR=180.  I probably won't watch the HR on my runs too much, but it will be interesting data to look at afterwards to see what zones I am training in.

golfpro - 2010-01-02 11:44 AM Two options-...http://www.realcyclist.com/roadbike/Gore-Bike-Wear-Gore-Tex-Cycling-Sock/GBW0048M.html?CMP_ID=PM_VL0286&SID=G234234234 ....... other is a Neoprene bootie http://www.performancebike.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10... I bought a Nellini or something similar and after an hour of biking my toes were numb. Granted the temp was in the 20's. I just bought a pair of gore tex polar booties and I will have to test those to see how warm. I am contemplating getting the cycling sock above.

Well, we've been quiet today and are in danger of slipping to page 2.  Gonna fix that. 

Question up for the bike guru's....I have a gift certificate for trisports and am thinking about spending it on clip-on aero bars.  No tri-bike in the 2010 budget.  I am currently riding a Specialized Roubaix Comp. When it's not fricking freezing I ride on rolling hills and don't really need aero, but many of my races are at the shore where it's flat, flat, flat. I was looking at the Profile Design Jammers.  Any suggestions?

bzgl40 - 2010-01-02 4:38 PM

If it is really cold and/or wet I use neoprine booties that just slip on over my regular shoes.  They can make you feet sweat though and if your out long enough you might still get cold.  I've started carrying a second pair of socks.  I also have some covers that slip on over half my shoe that cut the wind which are warm enough for chilly days if it is dry.  If it is REALLY cold I use both.
Similiar to these...

evondo - 2010-01-03 6:44 PM Whew thanks for saving us I'm back from my last vacation for a while, I hope everyone will be more active in the thread starting tomorrow!

The profile design bars are some of the most configurable on the market. The different hand gripping styles really comes down to personal preference.  I personally prefer the S-bend bars (profile T2+) but have many friends that won't touch the S-bends and love the jammer style.  The only issue I ever had with the profile bars was due to my weight so I doubt you'll have a problem, I kept breaking the aeropads and I finally got a metal version of the plastic pad and haven't had an issue since.

Why don't you want to ride aero on rolling hills??? Aero downhill is actually more benificial than flat... I also ride uphill in aero unless the hill is huge and I'm out of gears.

evondo - 2010-01-02 6:46 PMGrocery bags work good too, wear them over socks inside of shoe and tuck in the ends after you tie them around your leg or bad things happen. Right Justin?
