It was overcast the entire day, high 40s to low 50s for almost the entire day, and despite the fact that forecast was supposed to be clear, we got rained on, and hailed on several times. My feet were sitting in puddles for the second half of the ride... Toe covers are fine for wind... but not for water.

The ride was going fine until my feet started getting soaked after that it was rough. You don't need to be able to walk, just ride. Melody
