Back when I made my personal commitment to commute by bike throughout the winter, getting through January was my biggest fear. Early nightfall, wind, snow, ice, below freezing temperatures…January has it all. Looking back though, it wasn’t all that bad! There were a few times when the conditions were miserable, but I [...]

My least favorite month to ride is January, and I’m thankful that the month is almost over. Riding in these conditions can be depressing, but yesterday I seemed to be ok with it. It was cold and windy, but the sun was out. The wind had sculpted the landscape into a wintery [...]

This just in…
The west side trails officially suck right now. There are some patches of dirt to ride on, but there are icy snow banks crossing the trail everywhere. It can be hard to stay on the trail at times, since the snow is not rideable everywhere. This forces you to take [...]

You may have noticed the lack of lunch riding photos lately. That’s because there hasn’t been much lunch riding! With all the trails under the snow, and all the roads icy, we’ve been finding other ways to entertain ourselves at lunch. A few of the lunch time riders got together last week, [...]

I’ve always considered January to be Hell Month for cycling. January has the hardest obstacles to overcome, and you have to push yourself to go out into the cold or you won’t ride. It’s too tempting to stay in where it’s warm!
After a weekend of snow storms, the Monday commute was nasty! [...]

Today I had the opportunity to ride my snow bike, a 1987 Raleigh Seneca. I call it the snow bike because I mounted studded tires on the wheels and I only ride it when there is enough of the fluffy stuff to warrant using it. I was given this bike from a customer of mine [...]

In the winter months Flume Trail Bikes becomes the Spooner Lake Cross Country Ski Lodge. Cross country skiing is a great winter compliment to summer time cross country mountain biking. You get some exercise climbing the hills, you get to coast down the hills, and you even get to explore some of the [...]

We had winner of a ride on Friday, the last lunch ride of the year. You couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for snow riding. The temperatures were just below freezing, and the light fluffy snow was falling. I met up with Jeff P and Jon, and we headed for [...]

Peering down into the bottom of the canyon I said to Jon, “That looks rideable. There are tracks down there.” “Do you want to do it? I have enough time.”, Jon replied. We pedaled up to the drop in for the creek trail and began our descent into the canyon.
Like most [...]

Friday morning I was roused out of bed at 4:30 AM because of a problem at work. Since I was already up, and the problem was taken care of, I decided to just go into work early. What the heck…I’m late every day, let’s try something new!
The marquee at Mills Park said 12 [...]
