To be honest what I'll probably do in the 'winter' is wear my boots for the morning/evening commutes (in the dark so more likely to be wet/cold) and then have shoes at work to wear (possibly with overshoes) at lunch. That way they'll have ~23 hours to dry and my boots won't be as wet anyway... With my second pairs of shoes at home for 'emergencies'!
I'm considering 3!

(I technically have 3 already, 1 set of boots and 2 shoes. Just need to buy another set of cleats&pedals!)
Not going to blast my way round by any means but not going to snail it unnecessarily. Normally regroup at the top of climbs when on club rides 
would have thought October would,be fine for Tourists? Can't imagine it being too bad!Well you've got 5-6 weeks to get in shape then
It's 25EUR and collects from hotels on a weekly schedule usually AM. Has a proper bicycle trailer to protect the steeds. Drives across the island to the other towns/points of interest and then you ride back to where you're staying
Day 2's ride is planned, passes the top of Sa Calobra as I say but deserves it's own ride tbh. Besides tagging it on would muller volume for the week and I want to do it on a nice day, early to avoid congestion.

If any rides are longer that week they're most certainly be flatter!
Now comes the dreaded Halfords set up - £50 says I find something that hasn't been done/checked/adjusted.
Spent a bit of time sorting my bike too. I'll be playing it safe with my jersey and bringing my Gabba so I'll be baking on the climbs and taking it slowly
Not to mention that my legs are pretty dead. Running, man...why do people even do that?
Thanks FT.
Ordered, I can't seem to find anything better for that sort of money.

First thing I would check are the derailleur stops, the rear mech smacking into the spokes is a nasty thingOnly chance for a short ride this week so I got out despite it being dark. No problem as I was lit up like a christmas tree but I had two moronic passes. One where a guy in a Vectra decided to pass me on the approach to a blind bend. As the car came into view the other way he missed it by about a foot with a closing speed of about 100 mph (both cars doing about 50). Second one again on the approach to a bend a guy passes and again a car comes into view "**** me that is close"... then I spotted the trailer. Slammed the brakes on and the trailer cut across about 6 inches in front of my front wheel.
Maybe I should take up jogging round the common in the evenings instead
I've not ridden it before but usually descend fairly quickly though would like a bike that's ride-able by the time I reach the bottom!
