PT, Those snowstorm shots are from anza, it was pleasant and partly cloudy in temecula that day with ripping blizzard up at anza that settled down by the time the race started-a real SoCal snowstorm and yes it was sunny down in San Diego that day.
Riding in snow can get tricky especially if you're trying to ride through a drift. Not so bad when it's sunny, however. Riding when it's snowing and super cold out......not so fun.
XCR's, dual pane goggle's, Cold Pro's...bring it. p/s- need a new line on studded tires please...somehow my old ones didn't make the move up here...dang it!
Last year , road 30 weekend Sundays in a row from fall thru spring. Run trelleborg tires when the ground freeze hard. Love it We ride lots and lots of rainy muddy trails all year round here in Western Pa. ( Pittsburgh ). Some vids (click on pics) another Vid ( click on pic ) Mud & Snow
AAHHHH winter rides I am really looking forward to that last weekend is probably the last of the mud and rain we've seen here for the next 4 months sort of last drying mud pool at this time (just end of the ride, playing around as it was to early to go home) in about 2 weeks everything is dry here case of water soaked air filter after laying the bike to rest in the water 3x 2 stroke riders and the only 4 stroke rider took a picture lets say that we all are happy 2 stroke riders wondering why we ever road this type of bike in the past (nothing wrong with a XR 400 but its a simple example of evolution to move on ) picture limit reached Robert-Jan
The first time I took my 449 on anything more than a local putt I had some snow to ride in. Riding in a snowstorm is not something I would do on purpose, but in a nice rain the traction is just plain better around here.
