Don't feel bad - just be glad you're in a region where the terrain/mud
are suited to e-boots - they are a *great* product.

for some reason they slip horribly in mud here (or at least that's been
my experience) and to not go to a muddy ride in the SE at least would
rule out most of the spring rides some years :)
