Riding in bad weather, deep mud, etc. is all added enjoyment and adds an extra dimension to your riding. I read recently (an substantiated quote) that "DH's and free-riders quit come bad weather"... Now, that's certainly not the case in the UK - surely you guys don't really quit or think the guy had big balls?
Blimey! I never expected to hear that... What a shame - I really enjoy riding in winter. You have to learn so many new skills just to keep the bike upright.
A few years back we had a terrible "foot and mouth" disease scare and it practically closed the countryside for us. So I headed off to Colorado and Utah for a holiday and to get some essential riding in.
How about some of you guys jumping on a plane and heading over to the UK in the winter. You'd luv it Check out either Scotland or Wales for some great riding.

Never said anything about not riding in the winter mate
Once the snow has been trampled and ice formed, put a few 3/8" sheet metal screws into an old set of tires and get out an enjoy the super highway the trails turn into :thumbsup:
However, when they are wet soil there is such a massive amount of erosion and damage from bikes that it makes trails last a season or two and then they are almost unridable due to all the roots/holes etc.
Naturally for down hill trails its not soooo much of an issue, but the erosion is still bad.

you must be having a laugh! I watch a lot of soccer, mostly english. The winters look f u c i n miserable! I live in Arizona so call me spoiled. It's sunny 300+ days a year. I think you need to come here!
