My mileage is looking a lot lower this year so far, but maybe spread around a little more evenly. I really want to get some longer rides in soon, though.<BR/><BR/>MrMacrum's suggestion is one smart idea. I'll have to try that, too.Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-64093822870395719552008-06-10T09:38:00.000-05:002008-06-10T09:38:00.000-05:0058 mph??

We caught each other on 79th going opposite ways, and I had *no* problem seeing him coming.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit a fondness for the Smart as well. Would it hold a couple bikes?

What I've been doing is pulling the liner out and placing the liner on a warm surface -- such as the top of my monitor or television and then pointing a fan into the shoes for a few hours. This made my squishy shoes merely quaggy for the ride home, and almost dry for the Monday night ride. This morning, they were back to normal, but I have a feeling they need a good washing soon.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-69388832615333608382008-06-10T07:16:00.000-05:002008-06-10T07:16:00.000-05:00For Quaggy Shoes try this: ~ Pull the liner out of...For Quaggy Shoes try this: <BR/><BR/>~ Pull the liner out of the shoes if they come out.<BR/><BR/>~ Stuff newspaper into the shoes and set overnight.<BR/><BR/>~The next day - pull the news print and you will have dry enough shoes on the inside to feel comfortable. The paper draws the moisture out of the shoes from the inside.<BR/><BR/>This works great. Really great.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.com
