More Snow Riding! (Short Video)

First studded snow tires ever (Nokian/Suomi W106) and first snow riding in over eight years. Second outing. Even more confident as I was able to brake to a stop downhill on glare ice. Here's a more scenic portion of the ride.
.be Rode half my commute and back. Now I just gotta decide if I can do this at night.

Your definition of "scenic" and mine vary by a wide margin. Congrats on the studded tires though, I rode the W106s for a few years till I retired that bike. They were the best winter purchase I made for my bike.

Yes, and I love it! My main concern was being able to see icy patches or snow covered obstacles, but with the studded tires, ice is not an issue, and my headlight(s) give me plenty of visibility.
