    Do you have a cross bike? Or a hybrid with knobbies? or a MTB? The dirt trails are usually rideable even in the snow, AND ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! And you can ride all the way up to Wisconsin!
    . . . I have not ruled out riding on sat. It'll be up near 30F, and if the snow isn't too horrible, I'll be on the trails.

    Unfortunately, no...I only have a road bike. Who knows...maybe the weather forecasters will all be way off with the snow prediction (I hope, I hope, I hope!). I'm going to play it by ear for now.
