Only to the forks and back. Main roads were ok.

It's cold, it's windy, it's wet, it's slippery as $#@! but rain took almost all of the snow away
? I think it's ride time.
I rode Sunday and Monday (days off) I didn't ride in to work today because of the possibility of snow streamers later in the day.
Do you ever do trials on snow?

Yes, just as long as the roads are passable enough to get to the venue people still ride events regardless of weather.
I've rode many events in snow or freezing rain over the years, I usually do relatively good on those ones too
There is some snow, I crashed once today but it was a layer of mud on ice :| my error, don't ride where water flows,
everything else is good today, is good slippery riding practice. I ride until I can't feel my clutch finger any more, then I thaw out for a while so I can go do it again ? I'm going to try rubber-gloves under my riding-gloves this time and see if that helps.

Hardcore bro, doing hardcore stuff.
I wish insurance would allow me to keep both bikes on the road--I couldn't be bothered to take my super clean VFR out and my ex500 only has fire/theft. Back in the day, my ex500 would be sujected to all sorts of brine and salt in December and causing chaos on Yonge St on Chirstmas/Boxing Day morning.
The challenge with rubber gloves is your hand can sweat and the moisture has no where to go. Wet hands become cold hands.
Before I got heated gloves I tried two strategies when riding in cold temperatures) below freezing.).
I tried some glove liners with some success and also Aerostich 3-finger over-gloves with great success. The 3-fingers are actually rain gloves (although the do/did have insulated ones as well) and just having them over my normal non-heated winter gloves worked for me way down below 0c.

Do you have orange rims on your bike? If so then I saw you heading south on Mississauga Road. I was NB in my nice warm CX3.

"ride to Labrador City the next day if riders are up for an almost 585 kms day at -30 or colder " - I'm already cold just thinking about that.

What stops me is the fear of that leftover brine on the roads getting slung up on my bike.
If I do take one ride, then my OCD kicks in and I feel the urge to detail it again before putting it back in storage
Was nice out today!! Just did a quick hr ish roaming the street of Richmond hill then headed off to work in the car in case the storm kicked in earlier than expected.. Which it didn't.. But better than nothing ?
