Bikes: Giant Excursion, Raleigh Sports, Raleigh R.S.W. Compact, Motobecane? and about 20 more! OMG

Being from NC I do touring year round...including the winter. As a general rule I shorten the distances due to needing a bit more time in camp for cooking and getting comfortable as well as the reduced length of the day. But outside of the occasional ice or snow storm we carry on as normal. FWIW I have been camping year round in the Carolinas for close to 40 years and can only recall one time that I have canceled a camping trip due to a March ice storm that hit right before we were supposed to leave for a 3 day canoe trip. My daughter was definitely PO'd at the time.
