this morning, I rode the Cap City Trail in from Division St. to downtown. the
path was plowed but there was a nice layer of hard pack snow. these are some
of my favorite times to ride in winter, the sound and feel of the snow under my
wheels is so nice.
Tonight, on my ride home, the path was an ugly mess of salt and sand. I felt
less in control of my bike than during my morning commute. Thankfully, I had
fenders to protect me from the gross slush.
I admit that I have a front studded tire, so ice and hard pack snow is not
difficult to ride on, but I remember that even without such a tire, it was
manageable. and the sound/feel was so nice.
do others see it this way or do you prefer the salt/sand? if you agree, who
would we contact to ask them to lay off the salt an sand?
The snow is going to melt soon enough, we might as well enjoy it while it's
here.
