Bikes: 1985 Nishiki International Touring Bike, 1992 Vitus 979 road bike, 1996 Bianchi Premio road bike, 2002 Thin Blue LIne CO2 mountain bike, 2007 Rocky Mountain Sherpa touring bike, 1964 CCM roadster, 1959 CCM Motorbike, 2002 KHS FXT mtb + more to fix!

An auspicious start to today's adventure - A half inch of fresh snow over an icy patch on the road in front of my house resulted in a slow speed but very sudden asphalt kissing face plant when I tried to turn left to go down the street. I guess that's why they call those tires "slicks". An intelligent person would have returned the bike to it's rightful place in the garage, but not me, I kept pedalling!
Freshly salted main roads made for a briney ride in. My feet got wet and cold, but I persevered and took less than an hour for the 22km ride. Temp of -4 C, 24 F, light snow, no wind.
This week's planned purchases: booties & gaiters!
