Seven hardy winter riders rode some of our favourite pathways around Nose Hill for about 18 kilometres.   The temperature was quite pleasant for December, rising above zero!    The trails were mostly hard-packed snow with a few skittery sections here and there, where we had to stick to a narrow track.   About half the riders had studded tires and the others managed fine without them.      This December is shaping up to be great mountain biking conditions with just the right amount of packed snow and warm temperatures.
