After a quick tire switch from my insane Race Kings to my more grippy Speed Kings, I added 2.5bar and went out to see how much I could slide around. I was hoping to beat the salt truck and I just managed that. The little roads over through Sävedalen were full of squished snow and it was slippery as hell. Nothing says 'Duhhh' like Chris Cross out riding a bike in the snow. But once I got over to the Skatås area and 8:an, it was more fun.

Most of the trail had been walked on and that was making it very bumpy for my back. But this is the best training for balance that I can think of. The whole freakin ride was me trying to keep balance. Wonderful.

After a side trip over to Rv 40 and greeting 2 other MTB cyclists and one on a CX, it was time to stop here for a sandwich.

No, this is not the finest pic of me. In fact, this is probably when my left shoe was completely submersed in ice-cold water.

After this came 'Dagens fråga' when a guy asked if I had changed to vinterdäck and I proudly said 'Nej!'. If this had been frozen snow, then I would need dubbdäck but that would have ruined all the fun today. And it has been awhile since I have had so much fun on my MTB.

When I got to the battleground for our Göteborgs Superprestige, I found a completely untouched field of snow. Riding in this kind of snow is heaven. So much heaven that I rode back and forth with a big smile on my face. I even tried a few corner slides and took the expected falls but why not...snow is very soft. Snow and sand together is not quite so fun though.

This became a distanspass that was not really long in actual distance but was 2 hours and 15 minutes in time. And that is about how long it would have taken to drive each way to Jkpg.
