Winter Cycling

it is winter here. i've set my bicycle into snow mode and i'm doing some laps on the single-track in the woods.

took some pics today:

(big up)

i'm riding a cyclocross style frame, fitted with Campagnolo Chorus mid-90 groupset. rear wheel is a Challenge Grifo (this one shreds on snow!) and Campagnolo Proton in the front. carbon fork, 4ZA zornyc.

good riding

looks ace

nice dude!

looks neat

this makes me want to go for a ride with my focus cx bike myself.

what are you wearing? it's freezing here in sweden, circa -10°.

You're a brave man, even with winter tires I would shit my pants every time I ran across an ice patch.

today was not so very cold here, it's freezing at night but sunny and thawing during the day. i had a warm merino-wool longsleeve and a windstopper fleece, plus a back-up rainshell in my bag.

CX in the mud and the snow/ice.... can be hard work and i get warm quick. check the map. frozen MTB trails can be nice. also there's cyclocross races organized every sunday here throughout the winter, these guys build neat trails. maybe there's similar trails around Göteborg?

there's some freaky specialized winter-tires BTW! check out this finnish dude with spike tires flying through the forest on his cx machine, in winter:

Thank you for making me feel when more bad about exercising less than normal because of snow.

I haven't had a run for 3 weeks now.

bring it snow!

it's a surly moonlander + salsa woodchippers and bar end shifters

i probably will never buy another non-fatbike again

DAT BIKE

lol

It doesn't snow here, so I feel like I'm missing out.

I rode through one winter in Boston and actually quite enjoyed it.
