that’s “ie” not “y”

christmas shopping took me to Landry’s Bicycles today. finally picked up some lobster mitts  and at first got some toe warmers / coverings. but it seemed like the salespeople were trying to tell me that the toe covers just wouldnt’ be warm enough and that I should go with what they call “booties.” these are things you slip over your shoes, with the hope of blocking the wind and giving you some insulation. we’ll see how well they work.

the only bummer is that the snow really closes off a bunch of shoulders that are otherwise good for riding. oh well.
