Hmmm Iph, I've been trading the number 10 TE club spot with you on BJ lately. Just noticed tonight your up by 48 miles. Your goal of making 7500km is going to make me try harder too! Maybe even pass you.

My studded tires come first of next week, just in time for the first forecasted snow. I guess I'm going to have to continue with my daily commuting, no matter what the weather throws at me. I really am enjoying my cold weather riding, I just hope the studded tires keep me riding upright on the ice and snow.

I was happy to hear I'm not the only one finding it much harder riding in the cold weather, I've also adopted the "just grind along" motto. My evil commuter hill was starting to be my friend, but the last couple of weeks it seems to have gotten a lot steeper and longer. I've got my big ol' mt bike tires on my Surley now, I hope the studded tires don't slow me down even more. bikerHen
