Seasons Greetings from Southern Ontario Outdoors

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my cycling friends. Thanks to all who are following this blog; your comments and suggestions will help me provide you with even better items throughout 2009.

The early winter this year in Southern Ontario certainly cut into a lot of fall cycling plans. With the exception of a determined (or crazy) few, cyclists have all but disappeared on local roads and trails. As I sit pondering this post the snow continues to fall, promising to be the second major dump in as many days.

So, for the most part bikes are cleaned and stored for the winter. If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, the holiday break is a great time to look for deals on modifications and parts. It might be a bit cold but heading to the garage or basement to spend a few hours fiddling with the bike might just help with the symptoms of winter withdrawal.

Now is a great time to get together with friends to plan those routes, trails, and races you need to work into your schedule for next spring and summer. Within the next month I will have added a large interactive database to
http://www.sooutdoors.ca that will make it very easy for you to zoom in on specific destination, route and trail related information.
