My take on shoes - though I've only done 200s and one 300k so far. I don't have the world of experience some on this list possess, like Lynne, Steve, Mike, Eric, and many others. I like clipless for some situations, for instance, I came off flat pedals twice on one ride last year when bombing down a rutted jeep trail at speed - just bounced off them. In rough stuff I like to be connected to my bike. I will try at least one 200k this year on flats. I think it may be more easy on the knees on a long ride. I have had great luck with the FiveTen Spitfires, but they are a bit on the beefy side when you're pushing over 100 miles. The Evolv Cruzers that I love for their minimalist lightness and comfort are too soft in the soles for more that 10-20 miles (for my feet). I do like the light weight of my Sidi Spyder clipless shoes, and the weatherproof-ness of the Sidi GTX Diablos. After a certain amount of miles, little things start adding up. I ride the Gran Bois Cypres on my Hilsen, and use wool bib tights - sometimes underneath MUSA knickers. As far as everything else goes, it's generally Riv standard issue wool/canvas kit. http://stonehog.com/2013/08/14/300k-and-artists-point/ Brian Hanson Seattle, WA On Wednesday, February 12, 2014 3:27:17 PM UTC-8, Lynne Fitz wrote: > > "what Riv rando riders use for shoes/pedals/tires" > Speedplay Frogs.
