Add in the 25 minute ritual of getting dressed, making hot tea (hard to drink the block of ice your waterbottle would turn into), charging all the various lights. The time commitment is crazy.
I'm going to try to scale it back a little and maybe mix it up with some cross country skiing. The dog would probably appreciate a walk once in a while as well

What are use using on your feet? I like insulated winter boots and flat pedals. For the clippy types, shimano, northwave, and 45 north have insulated winter clipless boots.
