Studded tires, again

We have at least 6 inches of really wet, heavy snow on the ground after last night. I put the studs on the front in anticipation of SOME snow, but I put the rear on too before setting out this morning. I thought about putting a Nokian on the back, but since I took off the spoke reflectors, I decided to stick with a tire with reflective sidewalls.

Marathons off, Marathon Winters on, odometer 17158

The ride was actually pretty fun. It was very pretty in the first 3 miles through the woods, and the control wasn't bad, just a little wobbly 2 or 3 times. The worst part was that the car's tire track I was mostly riding through didn't avoid the washboard and potholes like I would have.

I wish I had taken a few pictures on the road, it was really very lovely, but here's one from the garage at home.
