It's getting to that time of winter where I am over it and want to get back on my bike! Anyone else feeling that yet? Or are you Vancouver gals still riding?

I can't wait for my rib to heal so I can ride again!

If I wasn't injured I would have still been riding every weekend and also night riding for the past two weeks.

you can always make more money but you can never make more time.

I think it's called work for a reason. Or else they probably would have called it fun-time at the fun factory.

Between 30 day yoga challenge,deliveries, xmas stuff, and getting other stuff done I have been off the bike for while and I feel soft. I cant wait to ride and with some time off coming up I plan to be out again soon.

I pretty much leave my weekends to skiing but I was happy to learn last year that you can ride throughout the winters here.

So I was really excited when I was able to schedule in my first night ride of the season last week, which also surprisingly turned into a snow ride :) … it was such a great experience for me, that I was high for 3 days following …. even though I broke my rear shifter.

Hoping to keep it up and get more night rides in the new year.

I have no filter …

No not buried under too much snow. A little much to really want to ride, but not quite enough to want to ski!
Shop is open through the holidays! Come see me Newgirl!

still riding lots, not as much as the summer but still more than most! I just need extra time for my shoes to dry out between rides.

Joely wants to ride now. She just bribed me with 8 Guinness to mount her bike to a Turbo Trainer.

I got one of these on sale from Canadian Tire and it's been working like a charm on Steve's wet riding shoes:

We use that too - works great! As for riding, it doesn't stop. It just becomes difficult on a powder day, though… fresh turns on the skis or fresh tracks on the bike… Here's a few pics (crappy as they may be) from one of our recent snow rides.

Stuck in Toronto…no riding here :( It's nice to hear so many people are still riding though. Cheers to that!

Nice and warm here again. Above zero most days, but kinda sloppy for riding still. Unless you are punk rock, I not so much.
