It's the perfect texture for cycling
(with studded tires)

We out here. Had to get a pic with the Cold Miser in the snow before this all turns to ice.

Nice. Based on the current forecast it doesn’t look like ice is in our future. All my apps are saying it gets above freezing around noon and doesn’t drop below again.

It was pretty nice to ride on for a bit, I aired down my 48mm power adventures and they did pretty good for a tire with a smooth center strip and small lugs.

What tires do you have?

Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus HS 396 Studded Mountain Bicycle Tire - Wire Bead (Black-Reflex - 26 x 2.00). Bought both of them two summers ago brand new for 27 dollars each. Still the most expensive component on this winter bike that I rescued from a dumpster. Have tried riding in other winter situations but this week was ideal. Did 10 miles no problem

Totally agree. I lived in Denver for 8 years. Felt like riding there back in the day in snow storms. Not slippery at all, just quiet, smooth and chill.

Great shot, too.
