I have to say that when I have seen cyclists in the past - their overshoes have made me chuckle a little...why on earth do people need all this equipment to go for a bike ride? How silly I thought...until about two weeks ago when I was on my journey to Gaddesby, the sun was shining, the winter leaves falling slowly to the ground, the crisp October air being drawn into my lungs as I huffed and puffed up a hill...who needs overshoes?
Then...the sun went in. All of a sudden I was freezing cold, and had paused for some time by the church to take some pictures and see some departed relatives. I had noticed the quiet babble of a near by stream, but the cold air and the noise of running water had a double effect on me and I knew I had to get home quickly. By the time I got home my feet were freezing cold and my fingers.
So off I went to purchase "overshoes" with my colleague Pete...and some gloves...and a head band that covers my ears...and a gillet that was in the sale. Went for wind proof rather than water proof thinking that I am less likely to go out in the pouring rain.
But they do make my feet look rediculous....don't you think?
