I suppose it depends on whether or not there are ice floes running rampant through the streets and paths.

According to weather.com, it should hit 61 today. Peak temp is 9am then slowly dropping during the day. I'm considering it but there is lots of ice....may just succumb to the trainer. Tomorrow is supposed to be below freezing.

Lots of flooding with the snow melt + rain coming down.
Put the fenders on!

Was considering going out, but it's still pretty sloppy out.
Santa brought me a trainer, think I'm gonna tough out some
intervals in front of the TV today.
Next week looks to be dry and temps in the 30's, I'll probably
try to get out a few times then.
Have fun out there!

It's been raining hers since before midnight......... Water, water, everywhere..... supposed to all turn to ice tonite. 40 miles west of The Windy.
And, now, we are in a tornado watch until 7PM. Must be due to the record temps we are experiencing, with serious ice coming in from the west....

Chapeau!
I drove the kids to a birthday party at a local Pump It Up today and chased them around for 90 minutes. Does that count as a workout?

Only got a little over 12 miles this whole friggin month. Damn friggin snow, cold and the awful ice conditions of late are finally gone for now!
We got maybe some dry pavement for at least a few days barring any flooding. 35 tomorrow, low 40's monday and near 40 tuesday before getting colder again. It'll be nice to get on the bike for alittle bit.

I did the trainer. It felt good just busting my butt riding. I took a quick ride in the car along the path I take and it was full of crap...broken glass, pot holes, etc. That's when I decided on the trainer. The killer were the pot holes that were covered with water so you did not see them. I'll wait for less water on the pavement.
