I'm quite familiar with your snow problem. As you can tell from my handle I too lived in the snow country of Maine. In my case for 61 years. Then with retirement and a move to North Central Fl, next to the 46 mile Withlachoochee State Trail I have been able to ride all year. In fact today headed out for a 40 miler with Mrs. Downeastter. Back in my working days 1,000 miles was a good year. This year the hope is to complete 10,000 miles. I figure that's not bad for a 65 year old guy with a bad heart. So while the bike is away dream of the good old days...... ahead.... retirement in a warm bike friendly environment. Good luck with your inside training..... Oh and I don't miss the snow or the associated COLD weather.
