Ice

First outing for the winter tyres after seeing the wet roads starting to freeze last night. As I noisily and slowly rode along I thought they were overkill, until I came to the road that is always colder than everywhere else and never gritted. From then on I was very glad of them, and was certainly much more confident than I would have been otherwise, and no skids at all. Got to work to hear that several colleagues had come off on their way in.

They are Schwalbe marathon winters, and so far, so good.
