When should I replace my rear tyre? It's got threads showing all the way around.

It's like playing chicken or driving with the gas indicator on empty: I think I can squeeze a little more life out of it, but if I get a flat @ 30F it's not going to be a happy day.

I can't make a snowman. All the powdery snow from last night has frozen and now there is just a giant 6'' thick sheet of frozenness

You spend a lot of time in men's rest-rooms?

On last Saturdays 100 miler, I felt like I was riding in some very elite company, at least for a while. I just looked, and the same member finished the Autumn Solvang Double Century tied with two others, with the fastest time.

No, it's like riding with a bomb taped to your rear wheel, because that's what it is. It will blow when you're coming down a switchback at 30mph, you will highside, faceplant, and end up in the back of an ambulance bleeding like a stuck pig.

Please post vids.

I ventured out into the white lands.

Is it my imagination, or do Volvo drivers drive like idiots in the snow?

I'm tired of these snow posts on Facebook already. S&HTFU. It's frozen water, for chrissakes.

it's not a rando ride. It's a real USAC mass start race. My teammate did the masters 45+. Finished in 9:40 or something.
