Zero degrees this morning but dry and sunny weather throughout the day. Decided to go offroad today and take the Moots for a spin. I felt good and did the Green Meerdael BLOSO at a quick pace. The tracks were covered with leaves, making some turns pretty hazardous because of the hidden nasties that tried to pull the bike to the ground. But the clean and crisp forest air made blasting around through it a fine experience. Only my hands felt a bit cold near the end when the sun began to set , clear skies holding the promise of another cold night. My back felt fine during the ride, giving me an optimistic feeling for next weekend.
Went looking for some winter wheels and tyres for the Mazda MPS 3 today. Not an easy task since the wheel has to be 17 or 18 inches high to allow for the big 320mm discbrakes and the tyres have to be at leastV rated (up to 240kph) which is not that easy to find in Winter Tyres. Normally I need W rated tyres (up to 270kph) but these are not available in Winter trim. My garage had some 17 inch rims lying around and gave me a very good price for them . As for the tyres they will be Vredesteins Wintrac Xtreme in205/50 R 17 93 V XL. The winter wheels allow for my summer set to last a lot longer whilst not being harmed by salt and other assailants while I'm using tyres that are more adapted to the colder temperatures. I have been using them for 4 years now on my former car and can only tell positive things about the concept.
