I woke up this morning to a fresh layer of the white stuff. November 19th is really late for snow here, so it's not very surprising. I still had the Compass Barlow Pass tires with fenders on my Atlantis, which were not going to cut it on the fresh snow and ice. I scrambled to change to some 2.1 Thunder Burts and no fenders before work. These were brand new Thunder Burts, as I've been using 2.25's all summer. I've rubbed the paint clean off the frame and had the wheels grind to a halt a few times because of the marginal clearance. The 2.1's have quite a lot of room all around and will be a great trail riding tire I think.
Anyway, I rode in to work today. The first snow is always absurd. All the drivers forget how to drive in snow, and being anywhere near a cyclist causes absolute panic. Thankfully I made it in safely. It was even kinda fun... :) <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mfCeV7t5ic8/Vk4Eh0Fl7ZI/AAAAAAAAN7Q/fOg7PvhI8L0/s1600/_DSC5399.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--IJll_qWhIA/Vk4EmZZZ2vI/AAAAAAAAN7Y/j0Q87KPCraI/s1600/_DSC5404.jpg> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
