speccy spec specs.
 
Im getting some glasses tomorrow, for the first time. It appears I'm slightly short sighted, and hope this is going to improve my racing.

The unfortunate timing means that my first meeting with them is going to be on Saturday, at the Indoor finals, as I couldnt get them in time for club racing last tuesday.

Am I going to be ok using these at the indoor finals, or does it take a while to get used to driving with glasses on?

I had some chris (lost them:thumbdown: £400 too):lol:

You wont notice any difference, i found it odd though when i rained, i never thought about needing wipers on glasses

depends on the frames you have really. if you go for the really small frames then your periferal vision may be a bit restricted, but if you have reasonably round glasses you should be fine. Plus the added bonus of being able to see apexes a bit better!

if you aren't happy with them on then just race without for that meeting and get used to them at club races after.

oh yeah, they suck in the rain! pull down a big brimmed baseball hat over them to stop the rain drops fogging you up. and a hat in the sun too to stop the glare reflecting on them. But indoors they wil lbe fine
