I'm daddy daycare all weekend as Nemone pulls a weekend at college off the back of a week covering the breakfast show. (Apparently you can't call it babysitting when it's your own kids). Ninjago movie and Five Guys this weekend, hopefully some cycling can feature next weekend.
Looks like a cracking route - enjoy the last gasps of summer cycling out there.

Thanks for the input guys.
Agree probably better to keep it church and state on the commuter & road bike:
Way too much float on SPDs to ride them on the road bike. And I really want to be able to walk about once off the commuter bike, which makes MTB style shoes sensible (thoughts on Sidi alternatives?).
Anton great point about second tier price point. Yes much like pedals shoes do end up fucked, so why venture into £300+ silliness? (Seen thesehttp://road.cc/content/tech-news/219711-mavics-£900-comete-cycling-shoes-save-42-watts-pedal-stroke Mavics?)
I like the look of Fizik, love my Sidis and I'll check out the Specialised and Giro models too.
Hopefully see people out for a Dad's ride soon.

Hi all question for the forum: I need new shoes
1) for my commute bike - currently have Sidi Dragons (MTB) with SPD pedals. Been thinking about those Giro LX reflective ones. Plus side is they're fairly cheap and I could keep SPD pedals on the fixie fixie. Down side is that it would mean buying two pairs of shoes since I also need new shoes...
2) ...for the road bike: I only have specialised tri shoes with three point cleats currently. They aren't great for long distance and they're not warm or particularly well padded - I've got a couple of big rides in the Alps and Pyrenees this summer so thought they should be replaced. Like the look of Fizik R1Bs or Quoc Night (although real laces - really??). Benefit here is that I'd be able to ride these on fixie and road bike (if I changed pedals on fixie), saving me the need to buy two pairs of shoes.
Any thoughts or anything else I should consider. Rapha look nice, but I'd rather not buy Rapha - maybe the Giro originals?
Sidi fit me perfectly - not considering the road version cos I think they look a bit garish.
Thoughts?

@Ricky yep deffo up for some more rides if I can get a pass from family committments.
Any ideas on final distance? I fear my century ride in 2 weeks is going to hurt...

Tom, Ant: good to see you both for a spin this morning - it was cold out there! Let's try and get a longer one before / around Xmas.
