Winter Biking

I know it has been a long while since my last post, but that's what happens when I don't get out and participate in activities for weeks, and that fact my blog is about a specific subject.

As the snow has finally arrived in my area of Southwestern Ontario I am looking forward to attempting riding the trails in Waterloo this winter. It is a sport I have been researching extensively online to find as much information I can. So far the only thing I have found is, it's very expensive. As it is winter the temperature is the main factor deciding on when and for how long you should be outside riding and working up a sweat. One good thing is I have some of the clothing already, and this week I will be purchasing a few more items that should keep me warm enough, but still allow my body to breathe properly and not sweat too much. I suppose after the first ride I will know what areas I need to improve on, and what does not need to be changed.

I want to try winter biking because who says it is only a summer sport? It will also give me a different experience of the trails and nature. I am looking forward to this, and I have the choice of never going it again if I don't enjoy it.

Happy trails,
Craig
