There was one person who got to the MBT this morning before I did. Still trying to decide if the relatively mediocre studded tires helped at all…I’d say no in the trail, but yes to the icy ruts on 8th Street…

A ride to nowhere with a CaBi! Seems other people have the same idea.

Came home because the brakes stopped working. Wish I had the disc version.

Cruisin’ Del Ray. I almost hate to see the snow plows come through.

I was all geared up for my snow ride. Photos were going to be taken, and epic points were to be earned. Right up until my front tire went flat from a pinch flat. I guess I’ve lost my touch with changing tires.

I managed to get in just over a mile for the points on the flat front tire, but no photo.

Feeling safer because my feet touch the ground but without more tread on the tires I can’t actually ride on the snow. Anybody have some 26”x1.5” knobby tires they want to part with?

Yeah, I was ticked because Strava recorded my usual 1.1 mile ride as a .97 mile ride. Apparently, it discounted the part where I had to get off and walk. That meant I had to go back out and bike up and down the block to get even a sleaze.

GRRRRR. What do you have to do these days to get some Strava RESPECT? I record on Garmin, and it downloads to Strava, and recorded my walking of my bike fine, at a killer pace of 2.4 mph. Heck, it was uphill through 8″ of snow…

I always have a close eye on my Garmin. If I’m actually doing a sleaze mile (which is rare), I make sure it has it least 1.1 miles on it. Today was one of those days. I didn’t want to stay out any longer than I had to.
Otherwise I almost always round up to the nearest .1 mile.
