Biking related post! I got some snow and I'm going to ride in it tomorrow and the next day if it stays. And of course I'll go jumping in it and take video to show everyone. Probably gonna wipe out some....

I rode to class today. Freezing rain on top of a bases of ice/snow. It was fun, predicting how much I'd slide around corners

Frozen? Can I have a definition please? That word does not exist in Santa Barbara.

Snow riding is awsome under the right conditons. Late winter with warm days and cold nights is perfect.
Here in Norway more and more people do it.
You can by good studed tires or make silly ones yourself for riding in skiresorts.

Slushy stuff sucks....

Yea - I love winter riding. Frozen ground, a few inches of fresh snow, 30 degree temps

The ground is frozen, so you don't have to worry much about traction or damaging the trail, the snow and colder temps keep most people off the trails, so you have less hikers to worry about, and a little snow totally changes the way a trail rides.

We've had a pretty lousy winter so far, so opporotunities for good rides have been few and far between. I was hoping to riding tomorrow, but it's still really icy around here, so I may stick to the streets.

Well, I'm going out in a bit to go jumping and I'll see how it goes with 7+ inches of snow... I've jumped in snow before, but not much.

Phew just went for a ride in below freezing...awesome. It had warmed up like a day before then got really cold today, leaving me a little icy secret buried beneath the snow that I totally whiped out on, but it was great. When I got back I went to clean my bike and my front derailleur is frozen in place, and my right cleat was totally frozen, and the left barely could fit so the last part of the ride I wasnt clipped in one side. Good stuff, time to thaw my bike and get her cleaned up, and have a beer and thaw myself!

The ice patches under snow are what convinced me to get studded tires. Wet snow is a pain in the ass to ride in. For the firmest path, follow the fox tracks. They know what they're doing.

Where did you ride?

Dogs too.
