Riding this winter hasn't been too bad so far. I've noticed that this year our city has been doing a much better job with plowing and salting. Even some of our mups are getting limited winter maintenance. We've had some bitterly cold temps, cold enough to freeze all the icy slush and salt puddles into solid ice. The amount of salt and sand on our roads and sidewalks is just phenomenal, I am gald to be riding singlespeed with disc brakes.Also had some good riding times on snowy/frozen singletrack trails...but Yes I am looking forward to the spring.
