Tons of ice on the trails in my neck of the woods, no way I can go without the studded tires. So the 29 plus is on the shelf, and the fat bike is playing on the trails right now.

In between storms in Southern California
I feel guilty posting anything on this subject, but I guess it is relative to what you're used to. Upper 40's is cold to me . A great ride though and glad to be here on such a nice day. We are getting much needed rain and cold(for us) weather.

Jealous of all of you that got out last weekend. Sunday would have been a good day to take my old Trek with the studded tires out but I am way behind on a work project so was stuck indoors. This weekend's forecast has us in the heaviest snowfall zone so if I get outside it will likely be on my snowshoes, which actually would make me happy as they have been collecting dust since last winter.

My favorite cycling aphorism is "There is no such thing as Bad Weather; there is only Inappropriate Attire."

I love riding in the winter. Just commuted to work this morning in 22°F with a wind-chill/Real Feel® of 16°F. It's brisk, it's invigorating, it makes me feel alive. But I also like riding in 100°F heat ...if it's a dry heat. The thing I hate -- and this hasn't changed as I get older -- is humidity.

Yesterday was nice , temperature about 30F, no wind, roads clean and dry with no salt. However, the low sun is potentially blinding for drivers. Today it might get up to 40F. I prefer a milky sky for safety.
