It's great isn't it? All the mud is frozen, nice and clean, no bike washing afterwards, love it!

Frozen mud. Positives: Fast, dry.

Negatives: Frozen ruts, no grip, hurts if you fall off

I'm not so sure. I prefer summer...

I agree. To some extent I prefer this time of year - fast solid ground, no over-heating, clear crisp air and quieter trails.

Only problem is it hurts when you do come off, and that can happen instantly with no warning at all if you hit a nice patch of black ice.

Only downside is the cold.
On the plus, trails nice and empty for most sensible people are tucked up warm at home.
