I've spent a lot of time on mountains riding bikes, I even used to race downhill when I was younger. But I never imagined riding in the snow. On the mountain as fall arrived the bikes would go away and the snowboard would come out.
But clearly that isn't the case for everyone. Seeing this guy powering through, heading up one of the trails in the Kananaskis Valley was a moment where I reflected and thought maybe I need to rethink about riding a bike.
All the power to him.
Thanks for reading.

Nice shot...and I agree that you definitely should rethink riding in the snow. I absolutely love it, and get out on snowy trails every chance I get. There is no better way to improve your bike handling skills.

The only way to get over the fear is to get back on a bike. Just stick to the trails and you will pretty safe.

it's kind of a lot of work to ride in the snow even with the big tires, then you are pushing those big tires around, probably better to just take a picture of someone else doing it.

How much harder is it to bike in snow versus ground or concrete ? Does the wheel spin in place sometimes ?

Ingredients
4 cups uncooked brown rice (or white if preferred)
2 cups whole milk
2 1/2 cups cooked ham, cubed
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup crispy bacon bits (optional)
1/4 freshly chopped chives (optional)
Comeback Sauce:
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/4 cup chili sauce or sriracha
2 tablespoons worchestershire sauce
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Cook the rice according to the package instructions until just tender, not sticky (you still want it to have a slight bite to it). Drain rice and cool a little while you prep the sauce.
Combine the onion, garlic, and lemon in a food processor or blender and pulse until combined. Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and blend until smooth. Combine the sauce, tomatoes, milk, and the rice in a large skillet or a shallow pot and stir until combined. Place over medium high heat and stir occasionally for about 20 minutes until it's heated through. Add the ham and reduce heat to low then cover and simmer until all of the milk is absorbed and the rice is hot and thick.

I can hardly believe that she looks so easy on her bike on a snowy road. It really needs a lot of energy for it all. @scottdphoto
