WINTER MOUNTAIN BIKING
Winter is a fact of life if you if you live in Pennsylvania. The coldest and snowiest months tend to be January and February...but I've seen snow on the trails as late as mid-April. I'm not a skier...and I'm not a fan of snow or cold...but I do like winter mountain biking. Without the foliage on the trees, it's possible see much more of the landscape, making the forests seem much more immense. The frozen trails make the riding fast, fun, and downright exhilarating!

I rarely (if ever) hit the trails during the winter months. As my passion for mountain biking grew...so did my desire to keep turning the pedals no matter what time of year it is. I've always had limits to what I would rid...
