Description

This just in: Huge amounts of snow bring out MORE Snow Riders!

If you don't want to wait at the Handlebar, meet up at the spacious and toasty warm Corner Bar at or after 6:30pm. We will hit the streets when people stop coming in, or at 8pm (whichever comes first). Bring lights and your favorite snowy destinations.

Keep in touch if you are running late or want to know where we are headed; we will text or email back. Join up and leave whenever you want. Hand and toe warmers will be available, as well as my famous Scalding Hot Chocolate.

Sledding in Humboldt Park after the ride.

Hooray for snow and bikes!

Comment by Bob Maher on January 7, 2010 at 1:34pm: Wish I could make it, but I have work that needs to get done by tomorrow.

I was out earlier today, and my slip slidin' ride on the coaster brake cruiser can be summed up by, "Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!!!"

Maybe time to put a studded tire on the front.

Were is this at

Comment by John on January 7, 2010 at 11:20am: Distance is voluntary - ride as far as you like. Being with a group makes it easier the first time. Pace is relaxed (due to the snow) over grass at least. The main streets should be cleared. Any bike is fine - whatever you are most comfortable with. I prefer wider tires in the snow, but will be on an old touring bike tonight. We are out for fun and snow!

Comment by Michael A on January 7, 2010 at 11:14am: I have never tried anything like this, so I have a few questions. How far will you ride? pace? Do I need to bring a lock? Mountain bike or Cyclocross?

Comment by John on January 7, 2010 at 11:11am: The vanguard will be there at 5:30 if anyone wants to come earlier - we can also provide wake-up service ;-)
