Commuter diaries - Snowy ride
Wed, Jan 13, 2010 21:22

This morning, uber grippy, fresh, crisp snow. MTB all the way to work, fantastic!
This evening, slushy, slippy, dirty snow splashed in my face by cars and no grip even with nobbly tyres, awesome.
Must add a CX bike to my stable for multi surface rides.
