Winter Weight
Much more hiking this fall, in the mountains, than serious cycling.
And after 3 family members got a nasty chest virus, I too succumbed after two nights of ~4 hours sleep and a long drive to the mountains. I’m still recovering, just barely able to do my standard workout at a low pace—frustrating.
Winter weight is way ahead of schedule so I need to get on it, and resume daily rides soon to keep things under control.
My favorite tire remains the Veloflex Vlaanderen—never flatted yet (aside from a pothole-caused pinch flat which is pure damage). It makes a great winter tire.
