Here in Canada where we have long winters, I spend a lot of time downhill skiing and snowmobiling. But I'm quickly getting bored of the usual stuff, what does everyone else do during the winter months?

Sulk, and swear at the weather. Always have a bike ready though, because you never know when a chinook is going to roll in, and clear the tracks up.

Are you into cycling at all? Get a fat bike - mountain bike with huge 4.8" wide tires, as long as you have trails nearby...that are either hiked / groomed / XC-skiid (meaning, packed down at least somewhat).

Ride MTB & BMX, but it's even too cold for that right now for me to be honest. Around 5°c is my cutoff point roughly of wanting to go outside for sports or not .. screw winter Laughing

I sometimes put a t-shirt on under my jersey if I get to the track early, because it's still like mid-50s or low 60s.

I'm probably one of the only Canadians that don't like hockey that much, otherwise I wouldn't be asking lol

I normally pick a bike that means something to me and restore it. I have 3 right now but only working on one. The others are 83 CR125 and a 91 Ohlins 350.




Right now it is on life support. Runs & sounds nice. Off to powder coaters first of the week...

Don’t have one anymore. When I did I sat around trying to figure out not to have one.

Off-season means something different for me. But during the winter, I road ride, hit the gym, and generally try and work off the sins of my holiday diet.

Of course, covering Supercross often results in four-meal days, so that doesn't always work.

Before my accident. Snowmobiling, a little indoor riding, pick up hockey.

Now mostly TV/Movies and gaming.

I don't know maybe try ice fishing. Just don't get drunk and fall asleep in the shack.

True story: when I was in the hospital/rehab center after my accident this old man fell asleep ice fishing. Long story short, he had to have both his hands amputated. Went around with this weird contraption thing on his wrist with a fork so he could smoke.

Here in South Florida there is no off-season for anything.

The hardest part is deciding which hobby to do every weekend!

Ride Dirt Bike\ATV, Harley, boat, mountain bike, road bike, RVing, go to beach, take a ride in convertible to the Keys, chill by the pool, people watch, fly RC planes and helis, cookout. Too many choices and not enough time. Rain is the only spoiler.
