I got out for a 3 hour ramble this afternoon. The temp was 8 degrees. We have a couple inches of ice under the snow from some freezing rain last weekend. Most of the time, I could ride without breaking thru the ice, but it was hella slippery and my front tire wanted to wash out a lot.
Good to see that you`re shredding the snowy trails. Your K-Monkey is a beauty. I have been stoked with the Ergon grips...a little tricky to find the right angle for them. I´ve heard good things about putting zip ties around the tires for ice tracion, but, only with disc brakes, that is.
That's Iowa, right? I never really thought much of Iowa but those pics I like; they make that part of the state look pretty cool, at least in wintertime.

Yeah, the Ergons are the shit!. I've been sold on them for a couple years now. Even for touring, I prefer them to drop bars.
