All you snow riders are invited to the second weekend of Southside Ice Cross :)

A friend of mine recently told me that he uses merino wool from thrift store sweaters to make balaklavas. Says that it is best done with a surger sewing machine, however. Perhaps we can get the pattern from him. That should keep us warm.

One of these helps when we get to the next phase of winter - ice

Look for merino wool tops and sweaters at thrift stores too. Get way to get it right for winter laying.

I must highly recommend your local thrift shop. People love to get rid of their old polyester, but what they don't realize, is that it keeps you warm all winter long. I would not recommend wearing it as your base layer, unless you want to smell of BO all day long, but above your cuddle duds, it will keep you as warm as a bug...in the summer time. It's also a wonderful way to prep yourself for the rain. You can find pants that you don't mind getting wet, or that will keep you dry - at minimal prices! Happy sifting and shopping!

After iceboating, snow riding is tame, but wonderful.

I ride in the winter to commute, run errands and just plain have fun. Several things over the last few years have helped keep me comfortable down to -10F: Neoprene boot liners, fleece socks, nylon snow pants (huzzah!) and compression base layer stuff. Hunting/fishing shops often stock them for less than bike shops do. Costco is also carrying big boxes of those disposable hand and toe warmers, which are lifesavers on very nasty days. I also found a neoprene jersey-like top on eBay which is great on windy days. It's like half a wetsuit.
