Broke in the studded Nikoians last night on the way home... It started snowing 5 hours before I left the cube farm. The roads were super glossy with a nice layer of snow on top. Cars could barely move. The 6 lane Blvd was gridlocked for 2 miles. I rode by that whole stinkin mess just smiling and waving. Didn't even try to slip a little bit, and I still had the tires pumped up to 60 or 70 psi. Amazing what studs will do.

This morning I headed out into 4-6 inches of frresh snow. Some roads were plowed, some were not. I did discover that riding untracked snow is very similar to skiing in some fresh powder. Just like floating along the road. Really cool.

Cow-Orkers were amazed that I rode in. I replied, "It was a blast...How much fun did you have on the way in ?" Somehow I seemed less crazy after that.
