We woke on Sunday morning to about 3 inches of fresh snow in the mtns - and the weather showed that 5-6 inches had fallen in Boulder-proper. After a nice run in the snow I headed down into Boulder and then out to Longmont in order to fetch a dear friend who doesn't drive very far from home anymore and who hadn't yet been to our new home. Given that the temp was relatively cold for Boulder and that I knew the mtn road would be a mix of tracked snow, slush, solid ice and gravel from the plows, I had some trepidation... though I should know better by now. The conditions were exactly as expected - and the highway out to Longmont (speed limits varying 55-65 mph) was a total mess with many sections of deep slush - and Zippy performed perfectly.
55 miles, 3200+ vertical feet of climbing (and 3200+ descent), 1 hour 40 minutes... and there was still 10% left on the battery. Maybe we should go back to one car :)
