2) not riding at all, your conditioning is gone by April, your up 20lbs and your back to riding once around the block.
3) the trainer, I actually rode further in February then I did in July.
Yes, we can ride all year but it is dark when I get home in the winter. I usually sneak out of work early once a week during the dark season but sometime I end up on the trainer even here.
