Nothing. That's what you do after mowing the lawn.

+1 Was thinking the same exact thing!

As for going on a cold weather ride, on a dry road with snow on the side, good for you! I love to get those kinds of rides in throughout the winter. With the right gear, it feels great.

I think I'd have the same reaction if I saw a guy riding around with a Greek dessert on his face.

My neighbors wouldn't give me a 2nd look for riding in the cold, now me doing yard work in the cold would make them worry!

Yea, that's pretty funny too! I always trim them back in November when they go dormant, but had a busy month, then the snow hit.
