(Re)fitted my mudrocker a few weeks back, which generally works well, but even this wasn’t enough for the North Yorkshire moors yesterday … rode the route from Lordstones I did with some of you guys in mid-August (27 miles, 3600ft) and significant parts of it were a mudfest. A very different and harder ride, but I felt okay at the end so my Covid is (like the mudrocker…) definitely behind me

Can you not get a large skid plate to keep your feet dry?Bone dry
Wet feet though, need some new footwear for winter I think!
Sealskin socks for the winBone dry

Lol, maybe I've been lucky or else my feet were numb when the socks leakedWhoa there Jack ..
Are you trying to tell me you have the only pair of Sealskinz socks that actually work ?
I've had multiple pairs along with Dexshell & Gekowear over the years and not a single pair have worked for any length of time ..
I don't bother at all now ..preferring to wear Woolie Boolie socks by De Feet..
made from Merino Wool they soak through almost immediately ..but then warm up ..whereas I've always found once a waterproof socks "let's in" they are bloody cold as the water pools inside the socks..
No idea as to which boots to recommend though
New 5:10 Goretex boots matched with SealSkin socks (or equivalent, I use Planet X ones, must be about 5 years old) matched with trousers, not shorts—and Dry feet for the whole ride.Whoa there Jack ..

All is not lost if they are ..get yourself on a diet of Aunt Bessie's Apple Crumble & Rhodda's Classic Cornish Clotted Cream ..
That looks like a child's portion you have there.All is not lost if they are ..get yourself on a diet of Aunt Bessie's Apple Crumble & Rhodda's Classic Cornish Clotted Cream ..
One a day for the next month should do the trick !

Finally! Someone with the courage to post a pic of Apple Crumble Pie.
I don’t know about that clotted cream stuff though.
. Vanilla Ice Cream or Coconut Whip for the win. 
matters.I got. Home grown cooking Apples from a friend last week so made a crumble for the first time. Never touched the side two helpings all round. Still to find a water proof boot besides a good old welly.Finally! Someone with the courage to post a pic of Apple Crumble Pie.

(Slightly distracted) I’m in my second pair of these Shimano boots. I busted my first pair (toe box) while my foot was inside so I got these size 43 (9) with a slightly wider toe box. Spd capable and kinda waterproof.

I use these 6-7 months of the year. Of course I use the traditional high black cotton sock. Dry feet
Leather boots and a pair of ankle gaiters are pretty good . I reckon ebike and big tires a lot more miles etc some boots just don't cope. Lot of water coming of front tyre as well. Time for the Ebike winter boot to be invented.I had a pair of 5 ten gortex boots and wore them with various claim to be “waterproof socks”….waste of time and money plus the boots were bloody sods get on and off, looked good but nowhere near measured up to the hype.
Oh hell
Dry waterHow do you wash waterproof socks?♂
But you will get one of those dodgy guaranteesOh hell
That fact that it's a "E" boot will add at least fifty quid to the true cost ...
Naah ..I saw the real thing on the Division Bell Tour at Earls Court , London on a VIP ticket ..a few years later saw The Australian Version at ( what was then known as ) The Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle doing " The Wall" ..they were OK but the lead guitarist was no David Gilmour ..his new album " Luck & Strange" by the way is excellent and his collaboration with his daughter Romany on the track " Between Two Points " ..played a few times daily at the moment ..
Good show I've seen them 6 times couple of changes in band since last year . Would have loved the real Floyd though i must admit. Scooter next Wednesday with wife she has insisted on standing so be interesting. Take my zimmer maybe.Naah ..I saw the real thing on the Division Bell Tour at Earls Court , London on a VIP ticket ..a few years later saw The Australian Version at ( what was then known as ) The Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle doing " The Wall" ..they were OK but the lead guitarist was no David Gilmour ..his new album " Luck & Strange" by the way is excellent and his collaboration with his daughter Romany on the track " Between Two Points " ..played a few times daily at the moment ..
