I voted for casual touring but I'm riding with my brother who is an animal so it will probably turn into speedwork. At least I'll sleep well Saturday night.

I've been wanting to do a 65-75 mile ride but my buddy always wants to do speedwork, but then when i don't ride with him im not motivated to ride that long alone.

You left out "group ride" which could be a mix of all of the above. I'll be doing the infamous Bike Mart ride in Richardson TX. It's usually extra squirrelly this time of year, but I need some fast group time to test my fitness and just get back in the groove before I start racing for the year.

Since it was 22 below zero this morning with a high of 11 today and tomorrow's temps might hit the lower 20's I think I'll stick to the health club. On the positive side tonight is supposed to be the last below zero night of the season. Close to 40 is forecast by midweek.

Speed work, I guess. I'll focus on doing as much work up front as possible and still have enough to go for both sprint lines. If the big horses come out to play and there's a crosswind, that will take everything this fat Cat 4 has, and more.

I'm riding on my own tomorrow and I've been spinning all week. So some hill work is in order to make the legs cry a little.
#20
Throw the stick!!!!
Most likely I'll be riding the couch, unless I can make myself get on the trainer.

It's what you make of it. I may have have missed 3 weeks total out of the whole winter not getting a ride in outdoors. The skiing more than made up for that in my opinion.
