Description

A very cold ride to run in my change of tires from some commuter stuff to Michelin Lithion 4s. They claim lower rolling resistance but I only saw very marginal gain on the climb but they felt a lot safer on the descent with a more rounded, rather than square profile. Really needed my ski gloves for the ride.

Conditions

Very cold, -2C at the summit, a positively warm 0C in town. Snow on the col and north side of Mt Cindre in the fields.
