My commute was 25 miles each way, 1400 feet (426m) of ascent each way, with no transit option. Last winter, a surprise blizzard rolled in during the week. My ride home took me 2.5 hours, rather than my usual 1:40, but I managed to stay upright the whole ride despite riding on slicks. Fixies and foul weather, better together!
You have my respect, crazy person :D
I’m running 120/140mm travel, 2.4" tires AND padded shorts on my trail bike for all day rides
It is single speed though, so I do kinda get the masochistic urges
