Good commute this morning, temps in the low 30's. Had plenty of energy and reeled in another rider, from whom I then follow and bummed his really bright lights for most of the rest of the ride. Just placed an order for new tires, tape, and headset. I'd been on slicks since blowing out my back Ritchey Speedmax cross tire and holding my breath on icy/wet patches. I'd been looking for the best deal in a 700x30 and finally settled on the Kenda Kwick, they should be good enough in the snow. I've also noticed a notchiness in the headset, most likely bearings, so I'll replace those soon...brakes and tape too. Commuting miles put a lot of wear and tear on the bike, I recently replaced my entire drive train and brake pads. Oh well, it's much cheaper than car expenses and definitely more fun.
