Snowy ride on the Salsa Beargrease today

I was up at Tanfiled / Stanley / Consett way today so made the most of the snow up there. It was time to take the Beargrease out for a spin to try out the Bud / Nate in snowy conditions. The traction/grip is just unreal, never spun the rear wheel once and front end never washed out either. When I set off the snow showers had just died off but by the time I reached Leadgate it was a white out again. I had a headwind and driving snow in my face all the way up to Consett. Once I reached Delves Lane I decided to turn and head back along the old line, this time with a tail wind. It was -2 degrees and that was without the wind chill factor. The snow was falling that quick and heavy my tracks had already been covered so could not follow them on the way back. Only one other cyclist out and he was bombing along on a cheapo hardtail, the snow did not seem to slow him down any! Below are a few photos from the ride -

The white out into the headwind filled up the vent holes
