i don`t mind a really sunny frosty day but Riding bikes in snow is not much fun at all.If we get plenty snow like last year i will be going skiing a way better day out than pushing a bike through snow.

Winter and the ice, errmm nope, still got the scar from last winter! now autumn oh yes! temperatures nice for biking, the ground is sticky and loads of grip, meaning quicker speeds. Just wonder how the monkey will hold up to the winter.

I've done bugger all riding this summer, shoudl have done loads but always end up putting the miles in over the winter. Maybe it's because I don't have the freedom to do it as much with the daylight hours I'm not sure but nothing beats a morning ride on a frosty morning and being the first to break the icy puddles. Not as keen on riding in the snow but a 5 mile ride doesn't half get you fit although saying that I do hope it snows like last year. Kept the pikeys off the road during rush hour

I like a good prolongued hard frost to solidify the bogs on the moors a bit..
I REALLY don't like the idea of getting stuck in a bog..

slithering around muddy trails brings a smile to my face (usually relief that i am still on the bike) cold crisp snowy days hard frozen trails are good I ve got a new light for the night rides so bring it on ......by mid February I ll be dying for dry trails ,not having to wear thermals and daylight

I've always imagined people getting rescued by military helicopters from the bogs and marshes round here.. or vanishing into the murk never to be seen again.. or at least getting stuck and dying of exposure..
Haven't you seen the neverending story..? The bog of eternal stench..? Or that harrowing film where the boys pet pony gets drowned in a bog..?
Bogs suck.. someone back me up on this with horror stories please..

Thanks for this thread everyone - really cheered me up about the impending winter this year, reminding me how it kept me sane riding through the last one.
It's odd for me, once I'm there I like all seasons and the changes they bring, but I really don't like the feeling I get end of July / August. Feels like summer is slipping through my grasp at that point and that I should have 'done more' with the summer - even though I have actually invariably done loads anyway. I'm much happier now I am in September.
Pic from last winter. It was marvellous, wasn't it?

20.c, no rain - what's not to like...

p.s. Actually, I do miss snow & cold (a bit, it's never proper cold here), but not that brown sludge stuff that coats your car for 8 months of the year!

It's still summer. It's still summer. It's still summer. It's still summer. It's still summer. It's still summer. It's still summer. It's still summer.
I'm not convincing myself
Mind you, I think my favourite ride this year was at Climachx in fresh crispy snow in bright sunlight in Jan. 'twas lovely.
