Yes, during winter it's rather cold. But think that we will start race with in 1 1/2 month. Now it about 0deg celcius.. To cold for race for me at least.. Now you have time to maintain the bike to be prepared.

I have not raced in 25 years although I probably will do some Hare scrambles this summer.
I ride mostly in the dunes.
Here is some pics of Florence, Oregon
