I can't wait for snow -- hope we get more than token amounts this year. I live near what in effect, if not name, is ABQ's Rio Grande park that runs N-S for miles parallel to the RG and has miles of acquia roads amongst the trees (and sand and horse droppings, but still) and it is great fun to ride therein in 2-4" of snow. Will have to add fenders but the Fargo has immense clearance even with 65 mm tires. Mud and slush!
Question: what do y'all wear on youse feets in sub-freezing weather? Last year I splurged on two pairs of Lake winter boots, one road and one SPD, but really didn't have to use them that much -- not that cold last year, and two pairs of thin wool socks under plastic bag in sufficiently large summer shoes seemed to work down to 30F or so. I hope to convert a pair of really old Rivat or somesuch fleece lined miniboots to SPD cleats using the old road shoe "pontoons"; if anyone has suggestions about this, please reply. (The Rivats had aftermarket plastic soles installed, so there is no provision any more for slotted cleats.)
