Today was the first New Year’s Day in a long time when we DID have
snow in the Netherlands. I had a great snowy MUni ride today. The most
fun was when a gang of teen boys noticed me torqueing (sp) up the hill
that they were on top of. Hey Super Mario, they said admiringly. And
they didn’t believe I would even try riding down, but cheered and
applauded when I made it to the bottom in one go.
The Halo Contra tyre under low pressure had an amazing amount of grip.
I haven’t measured it, but I think my tyre track was at least 3" wide.
And the snow (and the low tyre pressure I guess) softened the usual
bumps in the grass, compensating for their invisibility. Yay, SNOW!
