Greetings from Denmark. I'm a little envy on the snow. Here the weather is only stormy and rainy so I stay inside training on Swift instead. But I miss riding outside. Keep up the good work.
Getting out and riding anything is better than being stuck indoors, I struggle with indoor training, my HR is high constantly when riding, if your worried always best to get it checked out, keep going buddy
My specialty in nursing was cardiac and surgery. Those doctors know 1 thing - to prescribe. I think the HR being high for this particular day cuz the snow was just a lot of rolling resistance compared to packed dirt.
This winter I ride the 29 hardtail with 2.25 schwable ice spikers (studded) it sure is better on ice and hard packed stuff but it's kinda greater than I expected at loose snow too, I can scientifically second that feeling with the curse words per minute counter...Much less F word per minute than with the fatbike, I could almost ride in public 🎉😂
Same , i recently swapped my front tire for a used 45N studied 2.6 tire in the front. the rear is the same as the one you have. before i just got my old mtb tires and drilled studs into them and ran tubed ( i had to tape the inside on my tires to prevent the screw in studds from puncturing the tube.) if i could have, i would have used the button spikes in
I found that having an electrolyte mix with a lot of sodium in an isolated bottle works really well to keep it from freezing. I use liquid IV in a podium insulated bottle and it slushes up a bit, but even doing a 50-mile ride in sub 20F it didn't freeze.
