Cold weather touring

Summer's over! And, truth be told, the first summer in many years without a single tour for me! Not that that was the plan, but that's how it worked out. So on to winter!

Obviously, Winter touring presents some challenges. The easy answer fly or drive someplace warm or warmer. Butttt, then there is this: I read a blog on Crazy Guy last year about two guys who rode from Montreal to Washington DC in January! Or was it Febuary? Anyway, It snowed all the way through NY state. Temps were below freezing the entire ride. Or most of it! They didn't plan on the snow, nor did it deter them. Not your run of the mill bike tour! Hat's off to them!

Anyone out there who tours during the winter? Care to share your stories, advice about gear and keeping warm, and dry?

I for one am willing to try anything once!
