  • Varies state by state. In CO the main annoyance is goathead thorns but they're seasonal and come in after summer I think. I got one on a path last autumn and one recently off road. No problems on the road bike all winter and so far in spring. I'm switching to tubeless for some upcoming gravelly rides only.

    Just started snowing here. I reckon that'll be the last one this winter. The storm warning sounds nasty and it'll be dumping in the mountains but it's still "warm" spring snow - the roads will be clear tomorrow.

  • Thanks for the info. Didn't carry a spare tyre on the TCR but kept reading about metal shards and stuff on US roads which made me think perhaps I need to, especially given potential distance to next bike shop.

    I hope it's more than -5 when I get there!
