I hear you about riding on studded tires. I've had them on all winter, but yesterday I swapped them out for non-studs, and man, what a nice change.

It's too early to put them away. There is plenty of winter left. I'd say at least another month for me and I can start thinking about it. This past week has been quite dry and the road conditions have been good, and that's why I sneaked in a ride without them.
