New reality day 163

Quick Blip before work. I'll be home bit before 9 pm.

And I'll be cycling so I assume I'll be tired after today.

My husband changed also my back tire to a winter tire with studs. Last few rides I have had the back tire "kick air" on slippery hills, so hopefully it's now bit steadier. But it will also be heavier. Riding with winter tires on snow is hard. 

I also have new gear to try. I bought the elastic winter sport pants and the new sport jacket to wear underneath my existing jacket (which is not warm, but otherwise very functional). Riding with a "padded" winter jacket doesn't give space for movement, so good functional layers are the only possible choice.

It's "feels like" -8°C and slight snow in forecast. But all the cycling roads are in very good conditions since it hasn't snowed in few days, so I should be fine. And I can always walk the bits that can't be cycled.

I just need to find the stuff that melts frozen locks. I need to carry that with me. The locks freeze so easily. And especially now that my bike's been inside for maintenance. It would be horrible trying to leave work and lock is frozen shut.
