One thing that took me a long time to realize, is that different bikes use different muscles. It pays to put in some time on the winter bike before it snows. Otherwise you get the double hit of the snow slowing you down and legs not conditioned to that bike. Starting in late summer I decided to put in a couple mountain bike rides a week. Lately I've been commuting on it at least 50% of the time.
4C with a decent tail / side wind. It was a quick ride but I didn't push too hard. It started getting misty halfway through the ride.
Yesterday's ride home was very slow with wind gusting to 80kph. But at least I missed the rain.
