Snowbiking

Last Saturday I awoke to the silence of gently falling snow. It continued all day and by the time it abated, 6" of it carpeted the ground.The following Sunday morning, I took down the mountain bike and decided to go on a reconnaissance ride to determine how my commute to work the following day would be impacted.The snow had been tightly packed by passing cars and I was pleased at how well the knobby, mountain bike tires gripped.I took a slow, smooth, silent, 15 mile bike ride and enjoyed the beauty of it all.
