Managed to take the bike out for a short ride today

I did my 18 mile loop on Xmas day on my new bike (I know, I need to post pics, but I've been lazy!). I was surprised there were lots of cyclists out, because it's down to just a couple of die hards already. It was low 20s and not too windy, unlike today where we're still having 40 mph gusts from the blizzard. I'm thinking of riding to the store which is less than a mile just to check out how my studded tires are on packed snow. This bike is so much fun!

Edit: It's later. I rode to the store. Man, that was the scariest bike ride ever! But, I didn't fall.
