Winter Mountain Biking

WINTER RIDING TIPS
Always know where you are! Don't get lost in the cold.
Cover your head with a cap or a balaclava(it looks like a mask).
Keep hands and feet warm
Wear layers that are breathable.
Wear a base layer that is wicking(helps keep you dry).
Wear an outer layer that is not too heavy but will block wind.
Never under dress! You can always take off. Think of a mechanical or injury. You will get cold when you stop riding.
Look out for ICE! If you find yourself on ice stay straight and DO NOT BRAKE!
Try to ride in  temperatures below freezing. Trails may get muddy when they thaw.
Go to your local shop to get some gear and get out and ride!
