4-6 weeks to go - help me pass the time 🤪

[Expidia]

I figure here in the north east USA, It might be 4 to 6 weeks before it’s in the 40s again. I’m not a fan of salt or ice so I’ve drydocked my ride

So what do some of the members here do to pass the time until those of us that have a cold winter snowy climate can ride again?

I’m already burnt out, watching online YouTube’s and anyways around 90% of the emtb or review channels are just free ads and a place where Chinese online bike companies give the channels free bikes to hype them.

This forum seems to be the biggest and most active Emtb out there. Any other forums or good Youtubers to follow?

I’m an avid boater too. And I can’t get back on the water here until late May, like 15 weeks away (most seasons). At least with emtb’ing I might be riding again in April

Suggestions to pass my withdrawal time appreciated.

I rode in -4 last weekend, with a few others from here. It was awesome, ground rock hard, like summer. Adds a new dimension to it.

I'd say get out there whilst fun can be had in the ice!

Ha! I’m 74 and over my years, I’ve grown to appreciate not breaking any of these old brittle bones

I use any downtime from riding to give my bike a thorough overhaul.

There is no down time in MTB riding. I live in the Mid West and riding in the winter rules.

No excuse! - just remember to block those rear brakes for the descent!

“Down-Time”…what’s that?

You can't fool us! That's not your wife! You'd never let her ride a bike in those shoes!

Also, if she was, why would you be asking how to spend the next 4-6 weeks?

She sent it to me.
