A little dusting on the hardpack/ice today... Kinda nice actually. One of the construction guys told me to "be careful on that thing" before I left. I smiled and said "I have studded tires" His jaw dropped in amazement and he called his buddy over to have a look with him. I'm not usually one for showing off, but it was kinda nice.
On the way home there was a 10inch snow bank in my path. It seems someone finally got around to plowing a little bit. I got a "HE** YEAH!!" from a guy in a car when I lifted the front wheel over it then shifted my weight forward to let the back wheel jump it. I got a little bit of air. I'm definatly thanful for toeclips. I would have lost it without them.
