I’ve worn my mountain gaters a few times while riding, but I rarely do because they’re a pain in the ass.

I’m thinking they’d be great for Epic MTB rides on on the groomed snowmobile trail system in southern New Hampshire.

I think I asked you this before but where did you get those? I love the WW2 styled spats.

It has been around 30- 35 for my AM ride for the last 2 weeks. It is not to bad, but I hate that it takes 2 hours for my legs to not feel cold once I get to work.
I do think I will finally go for the full- ish race blade or planet bike fenders. I kind of am in to making it a rain/ winter bike!

I’m riding with knee high smartwool ski socks, and fenders. When I get to work it takes me 2 hours to turn up the heat from it night setting (55f.) if I ride. When I drive I’m colder when I get there so I turn up the heat right away.

Nothing too cold yet. A ton of snow and a little freezing rain. I love the snow. I do not love sub zero temperatures. Thats when things stop being fun. When the no-nos are numb.

That is indeed a cool shot. Never noticed that the guy’s hands are touching his damn stem before. Slightly less cool now that I see that. Oh well.

I kind of hope I get a job in somewhere cold so I can get a snow bike and get that experience seems pretty crazy.

We finally got our first ground-sticking snow in Denver!
I’ve got a Monocog for when things get really messy, but this is my primary snow bike:
Check out the sludge faring (tite clearances, yo). The tire was actually frozen to the seat tube after I took this picture.

Damn it. Don’t make me miss Montreal. I can’t remember what that shit feels like, but I do remember how good it feels to overcome that shit.

i would really really appreciate a good glove reccomendation
i just replaced my 7 year old rando long finger gloves with some giordana’s, and at about an hour into a ride my finger tips go numb. and thats with some stretchy cotton gloves underneath.

no specific recommendations, as there are plenty of gloves that’ll work. although i do like my xc skiing lobster gloves and my specialized cycling gloves, but often times if your feet/hands are cold it means that your core isn’t warm enough.

I’ve been using some 3M Thinsulate wool gloves for the past two winters without a hitch.

ive always had issues with my core being cold. im tall and thin and either I overdress or underdress. ive tried some big cotton ones before but its hard to shift in them. ill check all those out though.
