My hope is to do my regular group rides in them. Obviously with mail order I am sort of rolling the dice on fit. I'm trying to solve an aging problem of my toes going numb on our rides this time of year. I've got winter shoes, water proof socks, booties even, but the pants need to be long enough to stay down over my boot cuffs and narrow enough to not get hung up in the drive train. As soon as my feet are wet, my toes are numb. Once thawed they ache for days. I'm pretty sure this is more of a fight against aging versus a simple staying dry whilst riding sort of thing.
As for commuting, it's a 85km round trip. I gave up on that road bike ridiculousness years ago.
