It started off so promising. An icy Monday morning I hopped on my commuter bike with new studded tires. They gripped through ice and wet leaves. I felt so bad ass.
The ride home was equally wonderful. A bit chilly but it felt like a win.
The Tuesday we got a good amount of snow.
Wednesday the ride in was terrible. I shared an honest video recounting how the road plow had filled the bike lane with snow banks, that it was garbage day and we still had piles of leaves in the lane too.
I felt deflated. Defeated really.
The snow has since melted.
I’m feeling positive about trying it again next week. Fingers crossed the weather is on my side.
