Back still hurts. Avoided riding spicy trails to preserve the back, concluded non spicy trails weren't worth the sub freezing conditions.
The thing I like most about cold weather riding is that the trails are nearly empty
With the right gear, winter riding is almost no different.
Eating shit, on the other hand, sucks more. A lot more.
oh, i'm fine with cold weather...IN JANUARY
Is a rare thing here for january let alone October.
It's a good thing I have the right gear. Around here it doesn't get cold enough to prevent me from riding

Coldest I've seen on my car thermometer pulling up to the trailhead was -5 freedum units. That was about the coldest I'd go and still consider it fun.
I'd venture to say the Canadian monkeys are a lot tougher and ride even colder regularly....or smarter and stay home and drink.

-30° F in Vermont and in Canada...
first year of fatbike
subsequent years of fatbike
splat took pics! Because that's what splat does. I am sure some of you guys can front wheelie across these things but I fail more than I succeed. I cleared these two though.
If I had regular snowpack I'd consider a fatbike
Some kid was shot by a hunter near some local trails. Doesn't sound like a rider, but details are still scarce as it's under investigation. Nockamixon for anyone in the area.
Edit: shooting doesn't sound like it was fatal, but still. Victim was 18

The key to riding skinnies is to relax your shoulders and keep your head up.splat took pics! Because that's what splat does. I am sure some of you guys can front wheelie across these things but I fail more than I succeed. I cleared these two though.
Or ride the indoor bike park on the DJ.
-18°C is my lower limit for fat biking. Below that, the gear gets cumbersome and it's less about riding and more about surviving.
I'll also consider xc skiing if the snow is good.

I've done the -32c once. I thought my nostrils would weld together for good.
Did a pleasant 27 mile ride in Illinois while in my basement.
Then took the DSO for a walk, it's 3 freedums here.

Semi dumping snow here 
Rifle, shotgun, or bow? Sucks regardless, the first rule of hunting is to know what you are shooting. It really isn't too much to ask, but apparently some people just can't be inconvenienced.
And to stay on the skinny. That usually helps. Oh, and enough speed to maintain balance.
Let up a bit, but 3" on the ground since this am.Semi dumping snow here
Back when I was racing and riding DH I used to ride skinnies around town as a way to clear my head. There were lots of long parking curbs and elevated retaining walls to play on. The narrowest one was probably the width of a 2x4. The only way I could stay on was to stay relaxed and seated. Hardest thing you can do on a bike is ride it in a straight line going slow. Off the ground and you can tense up easier. Gotta stay relaxed.
Colorado's ski season is le fuqued.
I hope that doesn't stop every GMT thread turning into a Denver area weather discussion.
woot I don't have to work a horse show next weekend and I already had Friday as an approved day off. Weather is supposed to be nice so I am goin back into the mountains for a 3 day fly fishing trip before shit gets snowy or muddy
Of course he hit the big roller.
