10 good reasons to bike in the cold

To ride or not to ride, that is the question. As the snow falls and the temperature drops, so does usually also the motivation to get out and ride. But snow and cold weather do not really have to be that bad for mountain bike freeriding. Here I list some of the advantages compared to summer riding.

1. You will not be all sweaty inside your fullface helmet and body armour.
   
2. Falling on snow hurts less than falling into a rock garden.
   
3. Snow can be used to build jumps. Do it!
   
4. You do not have to clean your bike when you get home.
   
5. There will definitively be less hikers on the trail.
   
6. There will definitively be less cows (and their shit) on the trail.
   
7. If your girlfriend/wife calls to tell you to come home and help prepare for the dinner party, you can always tell her that the snow absorbs all her words and that you can't hear a thing.
   
8. Irish coffee tastes better in cold weather.
   
9. Riding with a full freeride beard gets to hot in the summer.
   
10. There will probably be less evil naked riders on the trail?
