Do you have a bicycle-related project you are going to work on while the snow flies (supposedly this weekend here in Utah)?....
.....I am also going to learn to snowshoe as that is what my bike club does during the "off-season".
Hi Lifesgreat,
Last winter I started snowshoeing, and in fact I started a whole thread on snowshoeing here on the forums:

You may find some good info there, and I hope to continue the thread this winter too. Feel free to post there specifically concerning snowshoeing.

I absolutely LOVED snowshoeing last winter. I shoed through town (before the plows and shovelers came through) and I shoed through a trail near ius in the woods, and once I drove and met a girlfriend in a nature reserve where we shoed over windy fields and around ponds.
Shoeing over fresh snow with no trail yet is a HUGE workout for your heart and legs.

I "might" order a custom bike this winter...so that would keep me plenty busy too- worrying about and planning all the details.

Losing 35 lbs is a BIG goal. I find it really hard to lose weight in winter- i get to craving fats and hearty food too much. My appetite is less when it's hot out. Good luck with that!
