How do guys clean that slop? (Note: if you have an outside faucet/hose line that is in service, then you really don't live in the cold)
-warm buckets of water? if so, where?
-"sponge bath" on the front porch?
-or do you just stay filthy 'til the thaw, and kick off those hanging chunks like I do with my 2000 Honda?

I did a "real cleaning" a few weeks ago after a ride. Spent nearly four hours wiping grime and dirt away from every possible place. I haven't been on an outside ride since.
I will, however, be doing bike support for a 10k running race on Sunday morning in Boston. That ought to be fun. I'll take some pics for you all.

That's from two years ago. By the time I got to the flashing yellow light intersection it was too deep to ride back up the path to my house. I only live a few blocks from the path in Riverside.
I went home on the road. It was plowed so it was not as deep. It was not much better. The year before that (or maybe two) we were riding on Brickyard Pond.
Did you already see this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcR-rGDriEs

stole your bike
Oh come on I kid I kid!
It's been an annoying winter here, not brutal in terms of snow but the cold temperatures have kept things icy in certain areas which make my predawn rides much riskier than usual. I like the cold but not the ice, almost bailed on a patch of ice the other morning.

I prefer "technically inept", but working on it.
