Since my blog is more male than female I thought I would redress the balance by writing about a typically female* topic. So my winter bike shoes, they are a little worse for wear with the seams coming apart on one of them so I duck taped them before my ride today, duck tape really does fix anything. The ride was very muddy, I decided when I was struggling to ride round last drop village that I would go up the road from Belmont, seeing as I had a headwind the whole way up there it turned out to be a good idea!Garmin Stats:
19.02miles @ 8.9mph

No change.
I thought I had done so well, have to think about another topic now ;)
ReplyDeletedid you accessorize? and colour coordinating your duck tape does not count ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course I did, I had a pink buff on my head to match my pink helmet and my blue buff round my neck matched my blue cycling jersey!
ReplyDeleteI have those boots too, I always thought it would be the neoprene that would detach first, obviously not! I'll continue hauling on it then.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I expected as well, but hopefully the duck tape will work!
ReplyDeleteI destroyed a pair of those boots in 3 weeks :o
ReplyDeleteanyway, just get some MW80s, better and cheap.
That doesn't suprise me matt, you break everything! Three weeks is good for you! I wish I could afford new shoes but I need to find a new job first.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea using duck tape to fix your shoes. Do you ever listen to an iPod when you bike? Check out these iPod cases I make out of duck tape!!
