[DVBC] Winter warmth

[Dave Hartrum]

Dom, I have been using just the Toe Warmer version for several years  
with great success. My toes are the only thing for me that gets cold.  
I highly recommend the products as well. Not sure why some of the  
prices on the web site are higher than in the store. I get the Toe  
Warmers in 3 pair packs at Modell's Sporting goods for about $3 or $1  
a pair. About 20 pair get me through most of the years cold weather  
riding. They stay warm for a good 5-6 hours. Since they are small and  
light I carry a spare in the tool bag just in case. On top of the  
toes works and feels best for me but the can be used under the toes  
also.

Sorry I missed the Sunday ride. Slept in a bit then just felt like  
sitting around the house in the morning. One thing about winter  
riding. If you are not really up for it don't force it or you will  
have a miserable time.

Happy New Year DVBC !!!!
