I don't know if you have heard of the P'tit Train du Nord bike trail north of Montreal, but it is a 200 km linear trail (half asphalt, half hard trail) - very well maintained, used to be a train track. Now it is used for cycling and cross country skiing. My husband really wanted to do it, but the problem is getting transportation this time of year - you park you car at one end, you get the end of the trail, you have to somehow get back to your car (unless you feel like cycling 400 km!) In the summer there is shuttle transportation provided, but not in the fall.

So we supported him in his ride - he did 91 km to Mont Tremblant, stayed in a hotel at the end of the day, and then he finished the second day after 100km, and I drove him back to his car. I was his support vehicle. He was very lucky, it was beautiful weather.

Now I want to do it!!!!! Dh is willing to do the support side. We have Thanksgiving weekend next weekend, but the forecast sucks. Cloudy, low temperatures, even a chance of a flurry on Saturday. I don't mind adverse weather as long as I am not cycling in a monsoon - I can be pretty hardcore when I want to be.But would I be crazy to to attempt a long trip in colder weather? I feel so robbed by the weather - I really wanted to do that trail, and it looks like I will have to wait until the snow clears in the spring which probably will not happen until April or May. Should I give up the ghost and give it a pass, and put on my adventure hat and go for it?
