Done! February is the month I am most likely to torpedo my BC12. I keep thinking that if I wait one more week the roads will be better and I won't need studded tires, and just like that, the month is over and it's do or die. I don't like doing long rides on studs, but I like crashing even less, so studs it was. It was -8C to start. I added 2 extra kms passing through Sorrento to go home and get a power bank for the Garmin because it became obvious that the cold was reducing its range drastically. Roads were very icy in places, especially Wild Rose Bay. Occasional fierce winds- crosswind on Squilax bridge was scary.
Thanks, Bob.
