    So many complain about the weather and how they can’t ride in it. I’ll ride in any weather. Cold and wet or a bunch of snow at 10 below. It’s in the mindset. I ride for fun and to keep my mental health in check. Stay positive and keep smiling no matter what the weather or life throws at you

      It’s not being a bit cold and wet that’s the problem it’s the constant bike maintenance and coming home with your clothes and bike covered in shit every single time you go out. If you ride a few times a week it gets old fast.

      @ I get that. We now have snow here so we’ve got the fat bikes out now. Yesterday was a wet sloppy ride. By the time your done cleaning the bike shower and change, it’s like 40 minutes extra after you get done riding. I still do it but I can understand the extra work and maintenance on the bike being a reason not to

    Dude, it's REALLY easy to have an awesome time even on bad conditions, the singular most enjoyable trail ride i've had was from one day when i couldn't sleep, and at 7 AM mid rain i gave up and began prepping to go ride. I simply rode to the trail and despite being alone it was awesome. Ever since then i look for chances to ride in adverse conditions for fun

    I ride in any weather, but I will admit, I really don't like riding on leaves because they obscure rocks and roots, and they're slick. I do a lot of braking around corners when there are leaves on the ground.

      @Mith420420 Місяць тому +1

      really cold weather is easy and way more comfortable to bike in, just wear the appropriate gear that's not too hot and not way too under dressed and you are good. dry crunchy snow is sticky and provides great traction on pavement as long as it's not super deep.
      slush is the worst stuff to bike in though, it's like the worst mud but also ice.

    I live and ride in rural, southern central France and summers are getting hotter and drier. My summer riding time is reducing. I’m 64 and have only one kidney making hydration more important. I look forward to late autumn, winter and early spring. It’s my prime time riding.
    One tip: I use a dry finish lubricant all year round. But you may want to think of one for winter.

    @PaulMoody Місяць тому +4

    Great advice. The one extra item I use is something I made out of soft shell fabric that resembles a lobster bib - it really helps keep my chest warm on the downhills without overheating my core on my climbs. Yesterday’s ride was probably my last of the season as I’m lucky enough to live next to a ski hill that opens this week. Time to transition to a different downhill thrill 🏂

    We ride every Wednesday night and some of our best rides have been when the weather has been truly grim. Our local pub is super bike friendly even when we are super wet and muddy which is why we always end the ride with a pint by the fire!

  • @rethridermtb3262
    @rethridermtb3262 Місяць тому +9

    Unfortunately, when it gets wet where I live, riding on dirt is not an option. Doing so, just means more work from our trail work volunteers repairing the damage. But when(if) we have frozen ground or snow pack, then we get to come out and play in the winter. You all should do a video about riding in winter where conditions are a bit (lot) colder.

  • @augmented2nd666
    @augmented2nd666 29 днів тому

    If your regular winter temperatures hover at 0 Celsius and below, a hardtail is a must, air suspension hates the cold, not to mention mud and snow is hard on linkages. Ideally a Hardtail with a decent coil fork is perfect, and luckily a RS 35 silver coil shock is relatively cheap and comes on alot of entry level hardtails. Save your Air suspension for warmer weather.

    Full-length fenders on MTB seem to be a taboo, but ever since fitting a pair on my trail bike they've been amazing. Not getting soaked in dirt means more riding and more fun.
    No real downsides other than a few hundred grams in weight.

    One the hardest thing with normal mtb is controlling temperature. If i am on ebike i normally don't focus too much on what i'm wearing as long as its warm. Normal bike I always end up to hot more than to cold! Gillets are my staple with a fox polar top.

  • @jeehoonjones1389
    @jeehoonjones1389 Місяць тому

    Recently went for a rainy day ride, a couple of takeaways for me were:
    Pack a Rain/spray jacket, and make sure it does keep water off your clothes.
    Wear proper riding pants, anything else gets soaked in water
    Properly scout out the trails before riding, I had a massive puddle after a jump and I got completely soaked.
    And finally, wear eye protection. It is important with mud to not get it in your eyes and if you wear goggles makes sure that you have some sort of fog protection on them

  • @raceace
    @raceace Місяць тому

    After having the wrong mindset I was convinced by a Champion to love the mud and rain. Nothing is more psychologically empowering in a race than looking into the faces of 90% of your competitors and see the dread loathing and fear they have for the cold wet and muddy conditions. Make atrocious conditions your best friend, love them. There is nothing more devastating to the enemy than them seeing you smile under the mud and grit. You know what compensates you for worn components, Podium goodies. Even if you not a racer, the sisyphus effect also has huge advantages for when the weather gets better, everything is so much easier.

    Where I live the temperature is currently around zero celsius with a constant drizzle. In a couple of weeks the sun will set at 4pm. Around December it usually starts snowing and municipality pours a mixture of sand and salt on roads and side walks to keep them from forming a layer of ice. Cycling through winter will be a challenge.

      It's been in the negatives here -2 or -3c 23-24f with snow, I'll ride through the snow, but not on the trails, super muddy and slippery, ends up caked in the hard to clean bits on the bike. Plus not riding the wet trails means they are easier to maintain

    Winter is when I really hone my bike control skills. I ride Detroit Michigan winters on the roads (where I could) and sidewalks on my mountain bike using Continental Race King tires, and needless to say it was an experience and a half. They of course don't have bigger knobs, so the grip wasn't there at all. I'm wondering how well my Maxxis Aggressor and (when it arrives) Minion DHF will do.

    @royevans4581 10 днів тому

    I don't care how breathable they say waterproof jackets are. When you work hard they all turn into bin bags. Just get a cheap one that keeps the wind out. Merino jumper is great as a base layer as they are not itchy and keep you warm when you get wet from the sweat (you should be generating) I have a light fleecy trek top with a windproof panel on the front that I've had for about 30 years now, that goes in between the jacket and the jumper. I can ride in anything with that gear, was out on Saturday when we had the 'windy day' here in UK. Storm Darragh or something like that lol. As for cold days, you feel fine after 10 minutes. Just get on with it!

    I don't ride when it's below 50F or raining as I hate the cold and our trails get destroyed if ridden wet. Luckily I live in central Texas so it's rare there is a day I can't ride since it rarely rains for more than a day or two at a time and hardly ever snows. January high temps are usually in the mid 60s. I know a lot of folks hate the summer heat but I still ride after work when it's 100+ in August. Just need to drink a ton of water.
    I was up in Duluth, Minnesota(beautiful place!) riding Spirit Mountain last August and they were having a "major heat wave" at 75 degrees. I went out riding at 2pm and everyone else was leaving the trails saying it was too hot to ride. Of course those folks ride in weather where I would freeze instantly and die so it's all about what you're acclimated to.

    I’ve had for more than a few years, a wind blocker pull over vest undergarment. It’s got a “Gortex” front with a cotton/poly body. Also what I finally got commuting by bike, look at what the cyclocross people are wearing. I finally figured out that in 2 miles you are just getting warmed up. And that’s all I had to ride to the train and off, the same 2 miles to work.
    14 years later the new job was 5 1/2 from the train. You could not dress for a 2 mile ride. You would be a sweaty, clammy cold mess.
    PS
    What the heck is with you guys that refuse to use a back fender. I don’t care how waterproof I am, I don’t need to be splashed up the backside to my neck in grime. The road shit is even worse.

    just be sure to not really care so much about being wet because no matter how well protected you might think you are, you are still gonna be soaked. the only important part is really staying warm and staying comfortable(even while wet), everything else is gravy.

    Winter riding has always been a double edged sword. Sure, proper clothing is key but its also important to understand that its not the best idea to continue to ride as often as you do in warmer weather and think there are no consequences. There are winter days and there are winter days if you catch my meaning and winter clothing can only do as much. 😉

    • @andrewince8824
      @andrewince8824 Місяць тому

      I think it's also important for people to remember how winter riding can absolutely mash some trails. Often it's best to reduce the rides and reconsider where one rides in winter not just for ourselves and our kit but also to ensure we've got somewhere to shred come summer.

      @SkarryTerry winter is snow, here in Canada if we don't get snow we all say that it is not winter

    Just got back from Windhill. Cold, wet and tired, couldn't be any better. With decent gear, a few good mates and a post ride bevvy there's no such thing as a bad day to ride.
