   Hi!  I'm an avid winter biker, so I find this one of the best times of the 
year to ride.  Trails can be more interesting after a light snowfall, 
provided you have the right equipment (Studded tires, good gloves ETC.).  The 
temps are before the windchill is added.  It had been below -40 C on the 
worst days up here.  But we survive.  But it's hard to get around when the 
shocks and chains on your bike freeze... :)
