Are any of you from areas of the world that are encased in snow, ice, and bitterly cold temps several months of the year?

If so, how were your 2007 rides? And are you planning to give it another go for 2008?


I've done 3 Century-A-Month challenges. My first was in 2003 in Winnipeg, MB. My second and third were in 2005 and 2006 in Red Deer, AB. So I've done quite a few cold weather centuries. I'm debating about whether or not I want to put myself through that again starting in January 2008.

I have a few ideas, tips and tricks for cold weather centuries, but I'd like to hear yours. What do you do to make your cold weather centuries more comfortable and managable?
