11mi, largely dry pavement with doses of compressed snow/ice, ice and car-churned crud. 43-45*f, but breezy with snow covering pretty much all non-paved ground. Chilly. Another great day to have studded tires and full fenders. Mileage is less, but the workout can still be intense.
It's really challenging to cycle over car-churned compacted snow. There's traction to be had, but you have to really relax on the bike and just let the tires squirm. Choose a line, but don't force it. Let the tires decide. Some speed helps, but too much is obviously undesirable, too. The sensation is horrifying at first, but you get used to it. With practice, it's becoming exhilarating.

12-29s ride ended early as about 2 1/2 miles and the cold rain came, I thaught I could get in a quick 10 miles but I was too cold with the temp of 35 and wet, I got in 5 miles. I don't know if I can get a ride in today as I have places to go and people to meet   and the temp is droping and wind is picking up  .

I rode outside today w/ the new fork installed. I must say it handles the terrain quite well! I didn't push it though because there is still ice and snow on the ground. It wasn't too bad for 30* with no wind.

If my refrigerator doesn't come in the morning, today will be my last ride for the year. I did a nice ride with ten other club riders starting around 8:00 AM and 41º temps, which quickly warmed up into the low 60s. Ended up with a 33 mile ride down some nice country roads and topped it off with a nice IHop brunch after the ride.
