Yeah, I’m still a little apprehensive about riding when it’s wet, cold or icy after crashing and breaking my leg 4 years ago.

I like to get to on my bike in the Winter, weather permitting, to avoid cabin fever, especially in the world of Covid craziness.

If the trails are clear of snow, it's sunny, calm, and above 35 degrees, it can make for a nice ride as long as I layer up on the clothing.

If it's icy or snowy, 'it's a no go. The bike handles like a squirrel on meth when it hits ice.

Yup. Getting out on the trails today ahead of the forecast weekend rain. It’s sunny, calm, and 45 degrees with no snow on the ground.
