I suffer from Seasonal Affected Disorder (SAD) during the winter months (November to the end of March). In order to avoid the "Winter Blues" I walk the local nature trail every day for an hour. The fresh air, exercise and pleasant scenery really lift my spirit. Only missed 3 days in December: two were Christmas related, and the other was just too cold and windy. Today we are enjoying freezing rain. I would need skates just get down the laneway.
Exactly why I do it myself. I do it for the mind as much as the body, but it does keep my old 53 year old carcass in pretty good shape. BTW, you can get a good entry-level fatbike for around $500, at least in the U.S. Mine was twice that, but still reasonable I think.
I wonder if we can convince the Ferret to give it a go?
