howdy folks....
i couldn't post yesterday.... kept getting some error message....
anyways, yesterday was about -5c/-12cwindchill.. with a fresh snow over some ice....
i got a little cocky and was flying along and drifted slightly into a little ridge causing my tire to wobble a bit... i was going too fast and not paying attn. and almost bit it... goof thin i recovered...
i've been experimenting with getting my studded tire pressure just right... i had put them up to 40psi yesterday but found that the loose snow over the ice made it difficuklt to steer and i was slipping a little.... my front tire had some grip my the loos snow pushed it around a little...

this morning i reduced the pressure to 36/40 (front/back) and felt i had more control in the front end..... it was -10c/-16c windchill this morning..... there still was some snowfall last night so conditions were similar to yesterday; loose snow over ice.... and finally a little colder ( on the radio they said our area has had an avergae of 16degrees temps above seasonal norms...)

i've still been wearing polyester underwear shirt, with a polarfleece vest under a MEC cycling jacket water resistant windbreaker... on my legs i've been wearin polypro tights under windpants.... on my head a polypr balaclava and goggles... im cold for a little bit and then warm right up...

so far so good.....!!
i've only missed one morning and made up for it on a wknd, so, so far i have perfect attendance...!!
