... so it's that subcutaneous insulation that's helping me stay warm. And here I thought it was the extra rpm's. I like the spray on my face too. But I always wonder what's coming off the road in that spray. Looking at the nasty stuff I have to clean off my tires it can't be good.

I got my studded tires yesterday, put them on the bike and totally wimped out on riding to work this AM. We got about 4" of snow last night, and after hearing about all the slide offs and accidents on the morning news I decided it would be prudent of me to let everyone remember how to drive in the snow before I venture out to join them. I do think I'll take the bike out around the neighborhood tonight and try the tires though. bikerHen
