I live in Scotland and when I was a kid every Christmas we got a new motorbike or petrol something to play on so no :cool:

And anyway no matter the weather outside I'm riding :devil:

Same to you Red. But, there is in AZ, just not yet this year. Last year was a 6" drop Christmas Eve. We get a little at 3-4K here in CA.

If the only issue was snow I'd ride, but minimal daylight, ice and frigid temperatures are what keep me on the couch from November till April.

Atta Boy Brian! Keep riding.

Then come up here to Manitoba and ride when you have to kick a hole in the air just to get out of your house. Having said that, we ice race in the winter. :smirk:

Bingo.
Of course I remember doing it though. Its okay when you're young, you move easier and you're more flexible.
But when you pull a groin muscle slipping on the ice trying to get a leg over, you start to ask yourself if its worth it, coming in injured from the conditions and not the ride itself?
Then that sore spot in your lower back reminds you that there is a warm, safe couch and a burrito and a beer waiting inside and they start to sound pretty good...

Yep, however what I'm most worried about is the daylight, getting into trouble as the 4 1/2 hours of daylight is going away can be a life changing event, especially if it's one of the colder days.

Yep, that makes sense given your location.
Safety First!
