Worst Part of Winter Riding - Page 2

The cold has never been a problem for me. I've worn a snowmobile suit, two pairs of longjohns and socks, and a baklava. And Hippo Hands are the best thing for warm hands. I ride with summer gloves underneath. I don't know why no one else uses them.

I've also ridden on snow, slush and ice. Crashed on ice once. It's a real skill to ride a bunch of miles on a curvy road, staying in a single tire track because of snow in the center.

But when I was riding yesterday, it was very sunny. The sun is at a very low angle and will get worse till the end of December. It seemed that every time I came around a corner the sun was right in my face. I couldn't see a thing. That really sucks.
