Snow daze Wed. 2-27-08

So I really enjoy snow and I wish it would happen more often here in Knoxville. However, riding around snow time (commuter style) especially following a highly publicized ice storm sux. I felt as though I was riding a two wheeled pretzel they put so much salt down on the roads. Suddenly I could feel the "real steel" rusting between my legs as I rode to the bus stop. Oh and apparently salt is very sharp, one crystal decided to finish off my rear tire. After further inspection I decided to retire my venerable commuting tires after 2508.6 miles of goodness. Considering all the crap I've ridden through on them, the multiple rotations I think I got some good miles out of them. About .9 cents per mile.

These tires will now be relegated to short trips from home category.

Her First Snow!
