These cold winter months in the Northeastern USA make it tough to consider riding outdoors. Most riding is done inside to a copy of the Tour de France or in a Spinning class with crappy music. Our local club has a few hearty folks that like to ride in the winter. They go by the moniker of RAW (Ride All Winter). These rides consist of impromptu announcements on a listserv for a ride on a “nice” winter day. Usually if it is sunny, dry and not too cold.

The folks at Chicao Bike Winter suggest you ride in winter no matter what the conditions. They host several winter-time riding events and seem to have lots of fun doing it. Check out the pics on the website.

The snow shouldn’t slow you down if you dress smart and take the proper precautions. So what are you waiting for, go outside for a ride anytime.
