      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Is there anyone that rides in the winter? <br />
<br />
New to this sport, so wondering if anyone rides in the winter. And if so other than keeping rider warm, what do you do to the bike or tires? I have experience bicycling in the winter, but I&#039;m guessing an ice puddle at 10kph is different at 80kph on a 500lb ADV bike. <br />
<br />
Can anyone chat about winter tires, spikes, traction, other advice? <br />
<br />
Cheers Craig<br />
perhaps a &quot;Crazy Canuck&quot;]]></content:encoded>

Weather for Friday June 5 looks nice (20% chance of rain). Looking for riding buddies for a Dual Sport ride. Stuff like unassumed roads, forest access. No tight or difficult single trail as I&#039;ll be on my Africa Twin and the F&amp;*^%er is heavy.<br />
