More snow yesterday, the ride home was interesting. A shortcut through a cul-de-sac was through about 8" of powder, woulda been more fun without the panniers and fenders. I managed to pass a vehicle too, a garden tractor equipped with snow thrower. The ride was a little slower than it shoulda been, my rack/fender brace holder onner bolt found some other place to be, I had to listen to the friction song being sung by my back fender and tire all the way home.
More light snow for this morning's ride, thei weather network forecast said I was finally getting a tail wind for a change, but the wind had swung around a little more to be a cross/head wind. The healthy (?) dose of salt given the roads overnight left me feeling like a saltine by the time my ride was over. A mostly bare/wet/ pavement ride, I don't think my studded tires were needed today, but you never know when you leave the house.
Fender/rack braces were wired together for now, no friction songs today!
