Riding Errands On First Snow
We woke up to a light layer of snow atop ice. This is the first snow of the season and maybe even the year. I don’t recall getting any snow that stuck at the first of the year. We went out briefly for errands here in town mostly sticking to the bike path. We rode the old Trek and GT MTBs.
The snow here never sticks around long enough for me to justify buying studded tires or modifying a pair myself. We chose these bikes because of their fat and somewhat knobby tires. I’ve haven’t ridden in the snow enough to experiment to see which bikes and tires works best.
That looks like some good power sliding snow. Perfect depth! Do you still have any incarnation of a Mongoose Beast?
Especially with the ice underneath but I guess I’m too timid for that lol. Several years ago I sold the Beast and bought the multi-geared, disc brake Dolomite but ended up selling it too. Fun bikes but I just didn’t ride them as much as my other bikes and couldn’t justify keeping them around.
