Is that the Pentlands?
No mate.. West Pennine moors... Gods own country!

winter rocks, scarves hats, ruby noses, wolly hats, coming in from the cold. Getting the countryside to yourself, feeling like you've really earned your cake.
lush

Comfort food and those fresh rides where the ground's frozen solid but isn't slushy or slippy. The tea/cake after a ride.

My birthday - 20th of December.
Christmas - particularly I now have young children.
I hate everything else.

I like when I set off for work at 5.30am and I'm the first person breaking the surface of a fresh fall , and smacking into rocks you can't see cos they're covered

Nice ales, roaring fires, the possibility of snow, frozen ground: it's all good.
Indeed, this whole thread is making me miss Canada, to be honest.

It's cold, it's wet, it goes dark at lunchtime, snow goes a funny brown colour, Christmas lasts for 2 months. What's not to like?

The inner laughter I have driving past people in RWD cars in my 4x4.

I hate to sound smug, but a good driver would be able to handle winter in either vehicle.
Not that I'm dissing 4x4s, or your driving skills.

Nothing good about winter. If I was rich enough I'd live somewhere warmer for 6 months of the year.

Not having to fill your fridge with lager - you can use your conservatory/shed/garage to keep it super chilled

You drink lager in winter? I can't even imagine. Wouldn't that be like watching daytime tv or something?

Ignoring the fact that I was being facetious
no, they wouldn't, not in the Peak District at least.

I will enjoy winter this year as I am not going to be driving a lorry around in it for the first time in quite a few years.
That and stew.

Long, steady, cold miles.
Looking forward to this winter. A lot.

Riding in snow- crashing your brains out and not even getting a bruise
Not being too hot all the time on climbs
Sledging
When the ground freezes and all of a sudden you're 10% faster than normal
The sound of snow
Riding through the sunset
Night riding without having to stay up past bedtime
Standing under streetlights and watching snowflakes
Getting in from a cold one and having a hot Frijj. MMMMMMMAnd that amazing childlike joy of waking up after it snows and seeing the whole world made new.

Snow.

Agree with most of the above. Can't see why anyone wouldn't like winter.

Cold Clear Rides Man.Can't beat them for crispyness and hot air breathing heavy in the mornings. Open forests devoid of fauna, unspoilt views through the trees. Up on the hills it's like God has dusted the land with sugar and we're laying tracks through the virgin frost exposing the fact to the world....
We're the only ones out playing.
Pure poetry right there

As previously discussed, if you're too hard up to pay fuel bills then you probably wouldn't enjoy it much.

Skiing
Christmas in the Alps
Cranking up the logburner until it's a dull red colour
Getting some space back on the train as the summer cyclists give up until April
Squeaky snow

I like:
The fact that we have distinct seasons, all with their own characteristics (good and bad)
Crisp, cold morning rides
No flying things
No nettles/ferns etc
Amazing views not available in summer when trees are full of leaves.
Trails are quieter
The feeling you're "earning" your dry/dusty summer rides
Frozen trails rockErrr, and some other stuff.

Not needing a fence to stop your bike from falling over...
..for everything else, theres Mastercard.
