Not a day for riding...
« on: January 31, 2017, 01:17:08 AM »
But a good morning for a winter walk.



The CARDIO Stairs....
This is only 3/5ths of them. We do 'em all in one go - and sometimes see the Care Bears afterwards.


Too much snow on the roads, making even a morning like this preferable.

That looks like what we usually get here in the Boise area. Not this year - we've had a total of 45 inches accumulated snow this year. My poor scooter hasn't seen the road since early November.  :(

If you could find a small enough tire chain and then take a couple of snow skies and fashion some out riggers you'd be good to go.  Hee Hee

Do they still have the pressure cans of white powder stuff to spray on your tires for traction in snow ?
It worked really well for me, years back.
I've heard of pouring bleach on a tire to increase traction but never tried it.  Seems kinda harsh.
Too much experience with tire chains.  I don't like em a lot.
We did spend plenty of time with all 4 chained up when logging out in the woods, though.
