General Cycling Discussion - When will you quit riding this year?

When will you quit riding this year?

When will you quit riding this year?


I build snow jumps in my yard.

I took some time off the bike in October. I'm back on and feeling great. Last year I started at the beginning of December after a 4-year break. Now I'm starting in November. I just can justify giving up the strong base that I have spent the last ten months rebuilding. Next year is going to be fun. I believe I will be a force to be reckoned with. LOL :D

Well, it's coming into summer here right now -- although that's the time I'd be most likely to quit riding, given my general dislike of heat stroke and skin cancer. Ironically, in just 38 days time, I'm going to experience about the coldest riding conditions I've experienced in years, including a possibility of summer snow!

never, never, never. Have snow, will ride.

I'll probably quit sometime in the afternoon on December 31st. Start up again on New Year's Day. (Caveat: Rain may cancel).

never, that's the beauty of mountain biking.

I will commute through this winter.

Winter.. what is that.. oh yeah 60 degree's I can ride through that. I love California :)

Haven't rode through an midwest yet ... always stop in fall. BUT this year I want to see what 0F windchill feels like on the bike.

Used to run down to -20F with winds chills of -40F.

LAYERS!!!

I stud em up at the first sige of black ice and go through the winter.

Not at all, I'm continuing to commute all winter, plus I'll be doing indoor training rides on Sunday nights at the local track.

I quit when it's below 35° and the wind is over 10. This usually means December through February are indoor trainer and weight training months.

i’ve already quit, albeit temporarily (for ramadan)... i wanted to ride to work this morning, but my wife advised against it cause of my fasting... i don’t think i'll be getting any riding done until ramadan's done. when the month’s over, i hope it isn’t too cold so that i can at least get to ride before the cold/snow hits. i’m still contemplating on giving winter riding a try though... i just i’ll just have to wait and see how bad this year’s winter’s going to be up in toronto.

Just as soon I get this teleportation thing worked out.... Well I guess I might be biking a while longer.

First winter back on the bike, don't know if I'll do the Snow & Ice, but don't mind the cold or wet. Only time will tell, and if all else fails the Fluid 2 is ready to go. I have no intentions of loosing what I had too much fun gaining or for that matter re-gaining what I had so much fun loosing, the past few months!

quit? for winter? Dont be daft :)

Besides, I have no other way to get to work.... ;)

Will be riding all winter, this year....

I figure by the time it becomes real cold and snow is on the ground I will be in my car follwing a moving van heading to Boca Raton Florida.

I ride year around as much as I can. About the only time I don't ride is if it's raining below 40F, although, I think I might try it a few times this year to see if I can adapt. If it's snowing I'll ride my mountain bike, but only if the roads/paths are passable. I tried riding in 8 inchs of snow last year and only got about 1/4 of a mile before I turned back. Last winter, only big snow stopped me from riding outdoors, and I just did the trainer on those days. Basically, if it's not raining or snowing, I go ride.

This area (DC area) is pretty good for riding year around. I think I was only off the bike and on the trainer for about 3 weeks last winter due to a couple big snows we got, which were definitely out of the ordinary. I'm hoping this winter is a bit more mild.

Quit??

Whatever for??

I used to quit if it was below freezing, or if roads were wet, snow covered or dark (kind of a lot of rules). This year, I'm going to try to keep it up all winter! The posts on this thread are a great inspiration. Thanks!

Got booties . . .will ride.

I dont understand the question.......:(

What????? and miss some of the loveliest riding days of the Year.

No chance! of quitting thats just what would be a car bound woosies excuse...

Mainly depends on my health. I usually get a sinus infection sometime between November and January. The cold windy weather (wind chill below zero F) really irritates my sinuses, and the infections are difficult to deal with, so at the first sign of sinus problems I'll lay off until February/March.

If my sinuses hold up, I'll ride unless it's icy.

My motivation this week has been very low so I gotta get myself jump started again. But I will ride all year weather permitting.

December 31st. Don't ask me what time yet! Either during the day with kids, as we could either do a bike tour or go tobogganing in the day, or at 23:59:59 if the night is clear.

When do I start? Usually January 1st at 0:00:01 (i.e. 1 second past midnight) if the night is clear.

Regards

My girlfriend has already started telling me that it's too icy on the road and that I should start taking the bus or driving to work. :rolleyes:

If I can help it, I'll be riding straight through winter.

When will you quit riding this year?

I'll quit when they pry the handlebars from my cold, dead hands!

Living in southern AZ, I ride all year.

I build snow jumps in my yard.

I remember those days.....

I just recently got a short term gig, so I actually have a commute for a while - Two days ago whwen I left my house it was 7 degrees F. I guess I'll stop riding when it's -20. (Note: I've never seen below -5 here).

I Live in South Florida.

The coldest it gets here is like mid 50s F.

I only take a few breaks from time to time but for the most part I only change my routine.

I ride softer during the weekdays in the "winter"... On the weekends I ride just the same as I do during other's "season" rides.
