Fall is in full swing, and with the Autumn colors comes foul weather as well. As October approaches November, the weather gets colder quick. Unless you want to freeze to death out there, or not ride at all, you're going to need some cozy cold weather gear.

Our Wednesday nighters are still going strong even as the days get shorter, and I don't see them ending anytime soon. A good light, warm socks, warm shoes, long pants, and appropriate upper body insulation are soon to be a must. We have excellent 200+ lumen lights, and are getting warm weather gear in every day.

Aside from everything else that you need to keep warm, one the most crucial things to keep comfortable is your feet. Bike shoes are designed to be breathable and cool, not to keep your feet warm in freezing and potentially wet conditions. Shimano has come up with a solution to this problem with the SH-MW80.  This full grain leather high-top is designed to keep debris out, and keep you feet warm. The shoe features a Gore-Tex DURATHERM liner to keep you dry and warm, and the seams are sealed around the shoe for added moisture protection.

Joyride has the MW80 in stock right now along with Merino wool goodies to keep the rest of you warm.  Click this link: http://joyride-cycles.com/equipment-1/shoes/mens-mountain/shimano-mountain-bike-shoe-sh-mw80, and shop away!
