From: 25 miles northwest of Boston

Bikes: Bottecchia Sprint, GT Timberline 29r, Marin Muirwoods 29er, Trek FX Alpha 7.0

23 degrees F
70 minutes for my 13 miles on snowy roads with 26" studded MTB tires at 30 lbs psi
used toe warmers
fingers were a little cold for the first 20 minutes
still getting used to the MTB muscles as opposed to the road bike muscles. I'm sure they're mostly the same but I can tell some subtle differences
no computer on this bike yet but I'm sure my average speed and MAX speed are quite dismal (not worried about it though
wondered on my way in what criteria to use when deciding if I can take my road bike with the 700x35C studded tires and if the MTB was overkill today
