I tried a gym membership for 3 months. I really enjoyed going, but as I'm still working for at least another year I was having to get to the gym when it opened (4 am). Our weather has definitely been wet and until I retire I'm sticking to my one good rode bike which I'm not going to ride on gritty, wet roads. My approach is to just accept gaining a few pounds and remind myself that I'm not a racer, I'm a senior citizen trying to slow down father time a bit. In the scheme of things one wet winter isn't a big deal.
