Paul - be careful out there!!
I dug my winter stuff out last month - in hopes of cold weather.  So far we are shooting for a record high today

In hopes of cold weather? That's just sick and wrong. 

Come on Paul - I bought a Snowbike this year - I am ready for it to snow snow snow!!!

I am jealous of the snow you guys got.  I had to check myself at first because I thought you were Bill and in PA and I was like it is 70 degrees why do you need gloves/hat.  Then the brain worked again and I realized you were in SLC.

I want to fly home to Denver this weekend just to see it!!!

So what's different on a snow bike?

I decided to take a look to see if I could find my hat. It took all of 30 seconds. I looked straight at it last night but didn't see it hiding in the dark recesses of the closer since it is black. Why is it that winter riding clothes are all black? Wouldn't it be better if they were brighter colors so you could see them easier in the cold dark winter?

It will accomodate a 4" wide tire that you can run at 5-10psi and they "float" on the snow.

Fattest tire I have ever tried was a 2.25 on my single speed so this is almost double that!

I hope the floating idea works. It would be nice to stay on top of the snow. I went riding in snow up in the mountains once. I thought I had beat the first big snow storm but there was already snow on the trails in some areas. I had problems with snow building up on the gears. I don't know how the chain stayed on but it did. I had about an inch of snow caked between the chain and the gears. It was a fun ride though.

Snow! It's going to be 80 degrees here today.

Does anybody know of a good online place to buy some winter running stuff? Mostly gloves and tights I think.

You call 80 degrees winter? 
I haven't bought any running stuff online. I don't need much for gloves when running. I picked up a thin pair of basic gloves for a couple of bucks at Walmart that work fine for me. They aren't quite enough for riding in the winter though. I just use some basic athletic pants over my running shorts in cold weather and they have been fine. Its hard for me to spend the extra money when what I have works fine.

I found Yanti, she's okay

"Hi I'm here! All is well. Feel very badly for those affected by volcano/mudslide/earthquake/tsunami. Just constant thunderstorms here a la Forrest Gump, but that's usual, except it means I have a constantly crappy, dialup-speed-when-it's-good Internet connection (easier to get to Ghoulies thread than Crushers, heh!)"

She visited the opposing team to let them know she's okay. Some explaining to do Yanti!

have to agree on the running part.  I bought an ASICS jacket for running and have worn it 1 or 2 times I think and that was snowshoeing to keep the snow off of my back from the kick motion.

You are going to overheat pretty quick on the run.  A basic hat and gloves will work down to temps where it probably isn't safe to run anyways.

Biking - whole different story because of natural wind chill effect.


Just a hat and gloves?

pdbman - 2010-10-26 10:17 AM Thanks for the good wishes last night folks. Things did get better with the exercising. I went for a ride after work and then went running later in the evening. A couple of things I need to do before I venture out in this weather again:
1-Get full finger riding gloves
2-Find my hat
3-Get full finger riding gloves
4-Get some riding tights
5-Get full finger riding gloves
6-Find my hat
I don't think I've ever gone riding when it is this cold. My hands froze, my head was cold (especially my ears), and shorts just didn't cut it. Did I mention my hands froze? After being so cold on the bike, I over-dressed for running and had to shed some layers along the way. I did find some light gloves that will work for running but couldn't find my hat. Then it started snowing. I will definitely find a hat before I head out again.


You should add "move south" to that list.  It makes me sad to think of snow already. 

If you have running tights, you can pull those on over your bike shorts.  I don't ride in the super-cold but this has worked for me in the past.  You might also want to grab some shoe covers.  I always end up with frozen toes when I ride in the cold.  The shoe covers keep the fridgid air from pouring into my vented shoes.

I love UnderArmour for winter running... but it's expensive and have to hope Santa brings me bits and pieces of new winter running clothing every year.  Embarassed  I love my UA leggings and tops, and then I throw a light fleece pullover on that.  I often end up stripping this layer off, but I like the layer when I get started.  For my hands, I have cheap $1 gloves from Walmart.  I buy a lot since I know I'll lose lots!  I end up stuffing them up sleeves, etc as I get too warm and they fall out.  Or they just go to the place where my matching socks go.  I also have some cheap fleece headband things to cover my ears.  I hate a hot head and I tend to lose a lot of these too.

Edited to make clear that I am normally a person who HATES the cold!  but overheat quickly...  if that makes my wimpy approach to winter running less pathetic... Laughing
