No skinny tires for me yet. I tried an alternate route today to see if I could avoid ice and snow...nope. Still rocking the studded tires for now. I'm not sure it's possible to go through the river valley without encountering some ice and/or snow yet. I guess I could stay topside, but I much prefer the valley.
The river valley is still a bit of a mess and with all the melting and gravity the lower routes will probably be frozen for a good while yet.
The topside streets are in very nice shape save for the potholes... cannot ever remember them being this bad but the old Raleigh sails through these pretty nicely on it's 32's.
