Took me a few minutes to swap in the front studded tyre this morning... figure things might start icing up later and wanted to make sure I had enough clearance with the new fenders.
Hub has been topped up with a little 10W30 semi synthetic and the frame has been waxed... have been riding the bike pretty hard the past few weeks to make sure things are 110%.
And you can't forget the thermos of hot tea...
