| I was hoping to get out to Riverside today for a focused session of riding, but I'm happy with what I got in. I spent time tooling around the 'hood this morning when it was cold and the snow was powdery. That's easy riding. |
 |
| Where the snow has been plowed, it's denser and takes more energy to ride through. As the day progressed and got a bit warmer, the snow got wetter and sort of slick. |
 |
| After a couple washouts, I ended up taking air out of the tires, which helped. |
 |
| I'm going to go hit the HD trails again and see how they feel now. I suspect they'll be harder to ride and more prone to front-wheel washouts. I rode on a couple errands -- the streets are easy-peasy with these tires. Until now, my main snow riding bike was 2.3" tires on the Rawland. |

| Perfect cold-weather eatin'. Buddy Stine turned me onto an excellent Korean recipe website with a bunch of videos. Oh boy. This is the Dakgalbi (Spicy chicken/veggies). Damn good. And easy. If you make it: double up on the paste, so you have enough for an easy batch the second time you make it. |

That looks great. The bike, the land and the food.
John, speaking from limited experience...go loooow on the tire pressure, especially the front. My first couple rides in snow I had the tires over inflated (8 psi...ha) and had a couple washouts. I'm now down to 4.5psi front/4.8psi rear for snow/ice rides and it's awesome. You'll feel like a monster truck when you bounce over crap.
