Find the shot you want. Aim and get your camera ready. Set timer. Run like hell to the bike. Ride. Hope you get something. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, sometimes needs a few takes, sometimes I give up before getting the shot wanted.
Pssst: all my Canon cameras allow me to adjust the time length as well as number of shots taken. I set for 30 seconds, and have it take 10 shots. Pretty simple, really.

Hey Scrublover, what kind of pants are those? They look good for cold weather riding. BTW, Turkey looked great! I am headed to the fridge for leftovers...
Some old Kona pants. They work for me down to about 20F, so long as I'm not doing a lot of stopping. Colder and i have other layers.
