I agree but for that, it needs to be cold out :/

Snow is fun here in Ohio for a minute or so. We end up puting the bike on a trainer. You have to fight at beating boredom. Well most of us just hibernate for 2 monts.

Got out today, and to my suprise, the sun was out! I just love sunny, winter rides.

I'm tired of it and we didn't have much snow so far this year. Well, we've still got two more months of winter, I'd better not say anything... ignore what I wrote.

Riding in snow? NO PROBLEMO. If you love MTB, you GOTTA try ski-biking. Its basically a bike on the snow, only skis where your wheels should be. Finding a resort that allows it / rents equipment is getting easier. Try www.ski-bike.org for a listing of resorts. I also posted a link to some schweet videos in the Shameless Promotions section.

Anybody try it yet????

I actually did it maybe 35 years ago. I wish I had a picture. They were not as sophisticated as they are now, they did not have a padded bike seat or suspension. But they were amazingly similar to what's avaliable now.

My problem is I want to start in my driveway and skip the car part. I don't want to drive to a ski area any more. So I use the pedal and wheel model.

Nice photos: This past weekend had perfect weather for a ride in New England, bare trees in snow covered woods and fields, frozen ponds and rivers, the beaches were deserted, and there was the smell of burning wood in the air. Got to love it.

Where did you ride?

On Sat: the NBW Johnnycake ride route: it was a winter wonderland ride.

On Sun I went down backroads to Charlestown Beach and then Matunuck. Nothing like the beach in the winter!

Where were those pictures taken?

Excellent! Nice place for a ride! I ride down there from here all the time in the nice weather.

I goofed. The road in East Providence was hardpacked snow and ice all around my neighborhood. So I left home on my mtb with studded tires to go down towards Newport.
Oops. Dry pavemant in Barrington. I don't want to wear out my studs. The lake was Echo Lake in Barrington. Last winter it was solid enough to ride on, not this year. So now I'm hoping to take out a road bike a.s.a.p. I saw some roadies on Sunday the roads were very clear around here on Sunday. I wanted to be with them soooooo bad..

It's the ice that really bites! I still don't have the hang of that. This AM on my commute I actually got off and walked about 40 yards over some ice. I'm such a wuss!

Amazing.. 45 to 50 degrees f today, rode today on bare pavement. No wind almost too calm. Strange.
