Nope, aggressive knobbies that only slipped a couple inches 1x all last winter; it's as much the tramped-down powder we just got, dozens of cars turning it into icy talc, as anything. I keep thinking every year about getting studded tires, but by the time I have the $$ for it, the worst is over and I forget about it!

I've made no secret of riding "90 minutes on my 90th", either; most people congratulate me on my ambition. My daughter will be my age now when that gets here, I hope she's as fierce about riding then as she is now at 14! Be great to share that with her! I have full confidence that I will pedal through 80 -- of course, I have 27 years to go for that one!
