Cold Cold and more COLD for FL!!

Well, it has been no secret that most of the US has been hit by a cold front over the last week or so generously donating tons of snow in some places and tons of cold in some unusual places like FL. For the past week, temps at night have been consistently in the 30'sF. That is as far down as Miami!!!! This morning, my wife was doing the Disney Marathon. A very very popular winter marathon in the country given average temps this time of the year are in the very low 70's and 60's at worst. She woke up this morning to head to the starting line with another 19,999 or so people and it was 30F with 10-12 MPH winds making it feel like 22F. It certainly got better as the day went on hitting a high of 39F. She finished, but the entire time was miserable since she never warmed up and ended up wasting about an hour trying to warm up in 15 min intervals in bathrooms

I can do riding in the low 40's and will even do mid 30's with no wind, but the wind has kept me pretty much off the bike for nearly a week. I keep telling myself my daily mantra: MUST NOT BUY A TRAINER, MUST NOT BUY A TRAINER, MUST N.........
