I rode a tennis court yesterday working on nose manuals on the pedals and front pegs (with tailwhips), and other flatland stuff that I'd like to work into what I do at the skatepark. I actually broke a bit of a sweat.
Who's still riding? (or the global warming appreciation thread)

what's your avy say? "Life sucks. ______ your spoon is to _____."
Oh, btw - how's that cost of living treating you?
I rode about 10 miles of singletrack on Friday. Hiked about 5 or 6 miles Saturday. Went to a musuem and ate yummy thai in DC Sunday, and slept all day yesterday.
Last week I went on a 45 mile cyclocross ride. It was low 50's out. Ended up being a real nice ride. Hopefully I will get my new spring for my dhx this week so I can do some early morning DH riding before work.
when your spoon is too big ??
I got in a 3 hour long, snowless ride, wearing shorts, on Cape Cod Sunday morning. The ground was pretty firm and fast due to rain Saturday and freezing temps Saturday night, but the temps for the ride were in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
ah - so is it just not funny, or don't I get the joke?
I rode Thur., Fri., Sat., and Sunday. It's been so nice. Actually, since the end of October I've more than tripled the number of rides this year. The middle of summer I was at like 6, now I've got close to 40.
Saturday morning was the best. Early morning, all the trails were 1/2" of virgin powder, nice sun... best time I've had on a bike in a very long time. I actually felt like a kid again.

I want cold-as-ass temps and blankets of snow. Someone needs to kick El Nino in the nuts.
I just want the damn ground to freeze. Frozen ground + no snow makes for some good riding
El Nino is spanish for The Nino.
Riding? Um...no.
I did get up to Copper Mountain for some snowboarding last Thurs. Unfortunately, that's the day we got snow storm #2 and what should have been a 1.5 hour drive home ended up being a 6.5 hour crawl.

I was on the Kikapu actually. He got some new white cranks for christmas
Didn't hear back from you....you still riding anymore?

Theres an outdoor pool nearby that is about 12 feet high an my and some friends are in the process of making a drop in. But other than that I don't really care because I'm carvin the pow on my new snowmobile. Way gnarlier than anything I've ever done on wheels.
Riding? Um...no.
lthumbsdown: That's hideous. We went up the Thursday of the prior storm & took us about 2 hours each way. 
My mum finally got back to Albuquerque from Pueblo CO on Monday nite... a 5 hr drive was a 10.5 hour crawl as well...
she did say her new 4x4 Tundra did well in the crappy conditions.
The Tundra would be an excellent choice for this crap. As is my Tacoma. I haven't had any problems getting around, but if I had snow tires instead of regular A/Ts, I'd be invincible.My mum finally got back to Albuquerque from Pueblo CO on Monday nite... a 5 hr drive was a 10.5 hour crawl as well...

Im still riding quite a bit.Yea i live in ca. but we are up north and this time of year it is almost always cold and dumping rain outside.Been real nice lately though.
Looks like we're riding again this weekend. Supershoes!
Rode New Years eve. Had a good sized group at Oakley Corners. Looks like some Shindagin Hollow fun this weekend. Best NY winter ever.
I rode twice today!
Took my lunch break and went and rode some trail and went for a night ride afterwook.

Still raining cats and dogs here.
Life sucks when your spoon is too big. Funny to some not to others, intended for the some. As for cost of living, i have never lived anywhere else so im just sort of used to it, my rent just went up again tho, just over 1100 for a 1 bedroom...it is t3h suck but i get to ride year around.

im still riding, man its cold in So. Cal......
I rode New Years Eve (morning), New Years Day (night) and last night, still haven't had to wear long pants on a single ride this winter up here in central Massachusetts.
I'm fixing to work on some flatland moves on a tennis court at lunch today.
rain, rain, rain.... f'ing rain!
Street riding tonight, supposed to be 50-60 here today! I was going to a "snow" DS bike race this Sunday, but I think it'll be mud instead...poor NE skiiers...
I lived in Ithaca for 4 years and could barely manouver my car through the snow there most Decembers and now there's mountainbiking in Jan.
What a crazy, crazy winter this is.
Supposed to be 50 this weekend...
Its supposed to be in the 50's here today too...but snow is expected again starting tonight into tomorrow. I'm afraid we won't see any dry trails for some time now.
Yep, we're supposed to get a fair bit of rain with the 50degree temps. I like the mild temps, but I wish the ground would freeze or dry out so I could ride...
Just got back from an hour and a half ride on mostly ice with some mud. Keeps me awake.
I'm seriously thinking about ditching work early for a ride...
