+1. That looks like a blast for the kid! Heck, I want a ride.

 

bike towing sled looks like fun!

I remember as a kid being towed on a sled behind my parent's snowmobile. I'm amazed that I survived my childhood ...youth and adulthood

 

If you don't get cold, you never see cool stuff like this.

 

A couple of pics at different points along the Weldon Brook from my ride today at Mahlon Dickerson Reservation (Sparta, NJ).

 

I found a video of a little loop that some of the guys have been keeping open through the winter (It isn't the only winter trail here, but has become a regular part of many rides).

"The Ikea Track"


(it is not my video, and I'm not in it either)

 

 

I made one of those when I was a kid. Bolted a "snurfer" board to the fork and dang near killed myself. It was fun until the crash.

 

Very cool videos and pictures in this thread!! Just waiting on my bike.

 

A Little Blurry

 

Ice and snow is starting to melt

Snow is softer

Rideable on the flats

and down hills

riding in the old river oxbows

Still frozen under the water

I can do it!

 

5am before work ride

Took a weekday off work a few weeks ago and went to a small provincial park. I was the only human soul there..........

 

I'm at that time of year when it's still winter on one side of the mountain and spring on the other. I ride up a 3.5 mile service road that's mostly south-facing then HAB up the last mile or so as it wraps around the back of the peak and up to the summit.



Then from here, just over that edge..... it's all steep, downhill, South-facing, mostly dry goodness.

 

Bare Brown to fluffy White.....

We were set to ride to day on bare ground for the first time all winter......it started snowing 3 hours before the ride and we found ourselves in 2 to 3 inches of new snow...absolutely beautiful out in the woods today....here are a couple of pics...Ride On!

 

Nice 65 degree day here in Northern Ca.

 

Got a fresh dusting yesterday and managed to get first tracks on a few trails this morning. Tell me that doesn't look inviting...

 

Good video. That trail is wicked! Riding in the winter on snow covered trails is so intense, but you made it look fun!

 

Cool pic! Looks black and white! The snow enhances the textures of the foliage and the bike blends in! Nice effect huffster!

 

Hi
I'm new here but I've been lurking for a while now looking at winter riding pics mainly and thought I'd contribute with a few pics of my today's ride.

Beatiful day with full sunshine, -8 celsius and grippy paths.
Shame that this particular 8km loop is probably the only one we have currently with any elevation. When the snows melt all the other trails open up, but I don't know if I want to give up snow riding. It's so much fun

It's grim up north

Froze my fingers for fifteen shots. When I left home weather was kinda mild but not so coming back. Under dressed and freezing in the high winds, but at least the sun was shining.

 

A windy 14 degree ride with Tess...

Here is the icy bike trail that reached up and yanked my bike out from under me today. Hardest splat I have had in a year or so.

Hope you're ok. Landing on ice can hurt!

 

The bike slipped out so fast that I ended up doing a modified belly flop on the ice. My left knee is bruised, but otherwise survived without too much carnage. It could have been much worse considering I was 8 miles from home.
