I love cycling in the snow although it does take a bit of extra preparation I've tended to find on packed snow the technique is to take the straightest lines possible and try to turn as gently as possible. Do you not find that the studded tyres squirm on the roads? <a href="http://cyclingfitness.hubpages.com/_lhh/hub/Winter-Cycling-Clothing-How-Look-Good-While-Staying-Warm-And-Dry" rel="nofollow">Warm Winter Cycling Clothing</a> is a must- particularly gloves and headwear.

Warm Winter Cycling Clothing is a must- particularly gloves and headwear. A snood/ buff is always a brilliant addition to a winter waredrobe.

It seems like it is worse on Monday, when I haven't ridden for a few days, but after a few rides it doesn't get as irritated. My friend, Travis, wears a balaclava and he says this helps quite a bit.

It helps me to slow my effort to the point where I'm not breathing hard, which seems to allow the air in my body to warm up by the time it reaches my lungs. How much I slow down is relative to how cold it is. I've been looking at special breather masks to remedy this issue.

This is better written than a lot of professional stuff I've read. You should seriously be writing for a magazine or something! Cheers! Dude, the quality of your blog posts is terrifying.
