Made my goal + snow quistion

congrats on making your goal!

the lower you can run your air pressure the better it will be to keep
you ontop of the snow

try not to turn too sharply, too quickly on ice (the less you tilt the
wheel over, the easier you can stay up)

wear layered clothes so you can take them off as you heat up

I always start out cold (minus my big gloved hands) because I know I
will quickly be too hot anyways, I never ride in the cold with more than
a turtleneck and a waterproof jacket

I have a small cloth 'skull cap' that i can wear under my helmet, it's
very thin, but keeps the heat in and ears covered. once it gets around
-25c i will wear a toque instead of a helmet

do they salt the roads there? i throw my uni in the tub after ever ride
and hose it off. no need to dry off the clean water, let it drop dry
(the salt and [censored] will corrode your stuff and cause it to rust) pay
attention to bearings (main, and pedal)

read up on how to check for frostbite

Also it is going to give is some snow down here and I was wondering if
there is anything that I should know about riding in the snow?

You should know that it's slippery stuff :-)

Seriously, no. Brian's post prepares you for the serious stuff but
simply riding in not too deep snow is not that difficult. Freemounting
is special in that you cannot exert too much force on the first pedal.
