I am planning to ride through the winter already shopoing gear.

@qclabrat i enjoy golfing but greatly suck

 

[qclabrat]

Okay switching over to unadulterated practice tests, cya

It does with 8+ inches. Let's do a canal trail break this winter

Like the 45 mile ride you did in deep quicksand slush. No thanks

I'm guessing half the folks here will call quits after it dips to freezing. Paul and I were the only one riding last year from the founding fathers

As long as I can pedal I ride

I ordered bar mitts and thermal caps.
Should be in time for the cold. Keep your head, hands and feet warm and you are good to go.

 

[Victor I]

Yeah... I remember that conversion I had with you and I am optimistic
It sucks when you build up your fitness thru out the year and have it go down the drain because of the snow. Then you have to work it back up.

I was in better shape during the winter than now

Oh BTW I should be getting my new brakes this week and going clipless soon. I smell a major dirt nap fest coming

Love to get your feed back on bar mitts they seem so odd

You pave the way with your fatty and I will try to follow on my plus

What's your feeling on bd fatty

At a certain level of depth of snow, your skinny wheels will cut thru and just get buried in the snow.

it has been replaced by one which doesn't move! that was a hoot - 14 riders carrying a bridge. i have that picture somewhere.

Yeh, it was heavy. Shows what can be done when people work together

I'm familiar

Is it worth a listen what do they discuss

Well there’s some rambling, some struggling to remember all the sponsors. Then it generally turns to book discussions, the goings on on the board, upcoming events or team trips. Occasionally there are guests (those are the best episodes) but Inevitably it always turns to cross talk.

But every now and again there’s an insight or comment that would spur deeper thought.

@Juggernaut knows...!

I suppose I do.

Some hate it but I love it.
It basically feels like you have your hands in your jacket pocket. Unless its like 10 outside, you can still wear your normal riding gloves.
Down fall is that if you crash and can't get your hands out of those mitts.... ouch

What's your feeling on bd fatty

Cant say since I have never owned a fatty. But riding in the snow, you aint gonna break any PR's so... why not?

Actually not slushy, just cold as fuck. Was like negative teens if I recall. Need better shoes this winter.

But everybody's parents wanted theirs to hang with the nice Chinese kids. True story, my hick neighbors thought I was mixed since my English was "good", that was the 80s in sububia NJ

Those pedals... do they have tension adjustment?

Bar mits are the bomb, don't need thick gloves
