^go away. (

Since I posted this thread, I've had a change of lifestyle. I now ride whatever the weather. As long as the streets are clear, I'm going to ride.
I now commute somewhere between 6-8 hours each week and I've done several long rides 40-50 miles. Totaling around 10-12 hours/week.
Crazy, you say? Perhaps. But I've not touched the trainer in three weeks. I'm happier for it...perhaps not any stronger, but happier for sure. If you get the right gear there is NO reason to stay inside as long as you don't want to.
...I'm sure many agree.
