I'm starting to test the boundaries of how frequent I can ride during winter. Despite getting 15cm+ of snow on Tuesday, I was able to ride today on pavement that was dry with just dusting of salt. After an 1.5hr ride I came home and looked over the bike...almost perfect. Just wiped down the chain and other metal bits. I went out for a short car ride this morning to look over a few of the roads I would later be riding and this was helpful. My clothing is good down to -10C, if not too windy. I've found when you plan ahead you have almost no excuses not to ride outside!
