Just pics- but it was ‘sweet 16+’ smilin miles. Who says the Winter bikes have to all have fenders?

Something about rock walls and black bikes.

Green fields and well fenced

edit: Trying the Wolfpack clinchers - that are touted to be smooth yet with a tire tread that is more resistant to cuts and puncture flats. All that has been available (at least lately) stateside has been 23mm clincher. So on a discounted hunch, financially speaking, I took the leap. So far pleased with them after several rides with light gravel. I will clean and inspect them for cuts.

The ‘gravel’ = hard packed and rain washed
