My goal is 2,000 miles for the year, and I’m not gonna manage that by making excuses. Let’s get to work! Mostly a snow covered ride, yes there is gravel under there, 8.3 miles, averaged 7.8mph. Slow going, stayed in 1×2 of 1×3 for most of the ride.
The highlight was seeing someone attempted the ride on a wide tire mountain bike and turned around after 20ft. Had to laugh.

r/thathappened energy with your last sentence
you do you, boo
I find most mtb tires to be worse in snow than narrow tires. It either needs to be narrow to cut through or fat bike width to float on top. The typical mtb width sinks and has a wide footprint so it’s like trying to ride in loose sand.
it takes one bad fall on ice to really put a damper on your riding, i’d reconsider your tire choice in these conditions (speaking from experience). look into studded tires.
