    The look was somewhere in between. Yes, it was priceless! I'm sorry you're laid up, Tri Girl. I hope you feel better soon. I've been lurking on your blog and enjoying your adventures.

    I love this forum. Where else would I find encouragement for biking in extreme weather! My friends all think I'm nuts. I'm just addicted to my bike and the way I feel when I ride.

    Here's the tire. Nokian A10. There are more aggressive ones available but these work well for me. I ride 4 miles to work, and about 5 miles home. The extra mile is my favorite route except in the mornings when it is crowded with kids trying to get to the high school. On the way to work I stay on the path pretty much the entire way. It's not a bad little commute. It takes about 20 minutes in the mornings, counting all the crossing stops.

    Nothing like a cold winter commute to make you feel on top of things! Congratulations!
    Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
