Winter Cycling

Typical Saskatoon Winter

This fall was the nicest and warmest since I arrived in Saskatoon, but the snow had to come sometime. Late November saw a bit of a dump, and then a cold snap.

I took some photos by my building to show how nice it was.

I was sick of being housebound in the winter, so I finally got some studded tires for my bike. Now I can quickly get out to further yoga classes, the rowing boathouse, and the fancy gym on the other side of downtown. I also got a merino wool balaclava which is comfy and breathable and warm enough even at -20. So far I haven’t ridden in my parka, I hope I don’t have to.
