If somebody asked me a year ago what do I think about riding bike in the snow I’d say you have to be stupid to do so. Today… I did it myself and boy did I have a fun!

Bike handled surprisingly nice. Probably in greatest part because I have nice Panaracer Rampage tires. The only tricky part is when you try to turn and there is a patch of ice below the snow. Oh and rolling resistance is like you were driving on loose sand.

Can’t wait to get some more.

Short two loops done this morning to warm things up before so boring day at the office. Each of them covered 2.5 miles of hilly gravel road and 1.7 mile of paved one treated mostly as recovery part :-). Main focus was placed on keeping cadence on the steady level around 80 rpm. As you can see average cadence of 81 pretty much nailed it down.
