Revisiting Winter Hiking

Gosh- I've sure been thinking about and getting ready for snow this year. Traditionally, I am more of a warm weather person since biking is one of my favorite sports, but every year I find myself loving the snow just a little bit more.

This year I am really interested in doing a lot more cross country skiing. So I'll probably be posting a bit about skis and jaunts through the woods. In the meantime, I thought some of my newer readers might enjoys some of my previous tips on getting outside in the winter.

Hey Jim- It's heading into your time of year again isn't it?! I just added a link to your blog in this post :=)

Richard- I have to admit keeping my hands and feet warm for biking in the winter still plagues me. Haven't gotten it just right yet- either too bulky and can't move in it or freezing my thumbs off ;=)

I've been using an older version of a split mitten similar to these: http://www.terrybicycles.com/product/detail/1319/current/splitt-mitts

I like them- they're warm and there is at least some ability to do things like shift and brake- but still rather bulky. Let me know if you have any that work for you :)
