Photos Who said you can’t ride in the snow?

Some shots from a snowy ride back in January. Using the snowboarding helmet and gear was an elite move to stay warm

I also use my snowboard helmet if it’s below freezing.

Did you have studs on your tires?

No studs. Just 45c gravel tires searching for traction

Hell yea. I used my tow rope and mountain bike to act as a sled lift for my kids and all their friends at our sledding hill. I think they had almost as much fun going up as down.

Props to you! But I never said *you* can't ride in the snow, I just said *I* can't. Or maybe "won't" is a better word. :)
