My wife and I been out cross country skiiing quite a bit, and the snow here is plentiful, although nothing like it has been out east. The boys and I work on bikes when we have a chance. My wife just tells me to have her bikes ready for her summer racing season, as I am the "pit crew" at this point. She isn't riding for her old team this year, so there goes the fancy Bianchi from the last couple seasons. She'll use her Primato and some used tri bike, we just don't know what yet. Maybe a three year old Pinarello Montello that is sitting in a friend's basement on a trainer. Who knows. She is running indoors getting ready for her tri's. She is doing some 1/2 tri's with her training group, and a longer tri or two as well. Very active household!
Got any icebiking going over at lake Calhoun yet? That used to be so much fun. Back in the day we had the equivalent of ice Polo on the lakes: Think broomball (and you know what that is) with bikes instead of horses, on those hockey fields the communities had set up all over the place. If you can make it up to Mille Lacs, ice biking is monumental there (but you got to steer away from the ice fishing folks and got to wear some padding, for you know what )
