Thanks. Extracting single frames from action cam footage can yield decent results. The crunch of snow was very evident on this night and its just one of many reasons why I enjoy riding during the winter.The first 2 photos make the joy and wonderment part pretty clear. Serenity, too, I bet. I can just hear the crunching snow in the top photo, and the light and pattern in the next one are truly sublime.
I consider myself as much a fair-weather rider when it comes winter here. There are always going to be some things that we enjoy about winter and others that we’re not so fond of. The fact that, as a province, we likely have a higher-than-average amount of sunlight hours during the winter season bodes well. However, that can be offset by the extreme temperatures that we’re also subjected to and the fact that winters are long.-15 to -30 just seems outlandish here in this particular climate. People talk about different "kinds" of cold, but I've only ridden close to 0C here a couple of times.
I suppose it's likely that we are just not used to it/wimpy. Not sure. I certainly do know that the drivers here are utterly unprepared and somewhat dangerous.
And yes... I'm a "fair weather" rider to be sure... no rain for me.![]()
Just south of the Grand Canyon....
Okay, now you're just rubbing salt into the wound.
