they have plenty of snowmaking at wirth but not sure it’s going to be enough!

The keen eyed observer will notice a person kite surfing out there!

This weather is so weird. It’s T-shirt warm but the light and the sky still look all wintery. It’s real disconcerting.

What’s winter? I think it’s been fall here for five months now.

It snowed here the other night, like big snow flakes all comin down fast. I got real excited about having a snow day and riding my bike around the park but when I woke up it was just another drizzly morning, no snow stuck to the ground :frowning:

just in time for me to come to town for the big ski race! we skied up through wirth park to the venue today. i THINK if i do that tomorrow for the actual ski race, i get free Darn Tough socks

pogie weather!

And I thought 33 and windy was cold

I know it’s always a laugh posting about winter riding in Texas but I have lost about 30 pounds since last winter (when I wasn’t biking much) and oh my lord I am freezing my balls off this winter. Part of it is being Texified certainly but my personal RealFeel is like 10-15 degrees low right now.

I’d post the Ice Bastard again but it’s the same except I have given up on the rabbit ear brake levers.

Question: does tire milk even work below 20 degrees? I’m due to top off one set of tires but it seems like a waste just pouring more on the layer of frozen crud that’s already there.

No idea. Does it freeze? Should I add antifreeze to my tires?

Stan’s works at very low temps. I did a 10 degree ride last winter and didn’t have any problems. And it was after a 1-hour drive in single digits with the bike on the roof.

I read somewhere (probably here) that Orange Seal freezes but I haven’t experienced that.

This just got posted in my local Discord… I can’t wait to get up to Marquette next month to ride.
