Today my bro SC and I rode Wompy. Start time was 7 AM with the temps in low 30s F with high winds.
It was an awesome scenic blast though a winter land. No ice and the ground was frozen hard, and there was still snow to look at along in the forest.
Incomplete list of winter riding tips:
- Dress Warm Wear many layers. Good socks and shoes, cover hands and ears, any skin exposed will be at risk of frost bite.
- Ride with a buddy or in a group. Always a risk to ride alone anytime of year, but especially risking in winter.
- Leave enough time to complete your ride before sunset. Keeping in mind personal and mechanical failures can cause delays.
- Try to find out what the trail conditions are like and prepare for these conditions.
Happy trails!
