Any suggestions for riding while it's snowing, or should I call it a trainer day?
Water/windproof running pants like SportHill XC, water resistant windbreaker over wool long-sleeve jersey, wool socks, shoe covers, fenders, helmet with a visor or a cycling cap under your helmet. Rain cover for helmet also a plus. CX tires for wet snow, studded tires for ice.
