Patience… I getting impatient with patience.

The storm turned out to be much ado about nothing.

Double crap is right. The winter is just mean and cruel. I still try to ride but I’m really craving some fine warm days right now.

Your predictions were correct — about work, dogs and photos.

That stretch of road was pretty bad. The rest of the ride was clear.

I wonder why so many riders never stretch their skills?

Only skiers are happy right now I think.

Snow. I’m tired…

My experience is the wheels slip out. Happens fast. Only once have I gone down. Having something light like the Vespa helps manage things.

Depends on the speed I guess. Getting run over would be a disaster. Elections are a different animal entirely.

Having a light bike is critical to dealing with snow. Took a look at your photos. What kind of machine is that? Looks like a Passport or Sym?

Ice is the worst. And as you say in another comment — studs are the best way to handle. Or chains.

I can’t imagine riding along icy roads on high passes, especially ones where you could plummet off the edge of the road…
