Serves you right for wanting to get some early season miles in; back in the gym!

Yup, here in Cleveland we are getting a bit of snow. And I just bought new tires and brake pads yesterday. I want to go out and test them, but they really aren't tires made for this kind of weather. At least I was able to ride yesterday to get the tires and pads.

Except the 5 minutes lasted 24 hours. It started yesterday afternoon and finally stopped this evening. I just had enough time to run the snowblower before it got dark.
