"Painful" is the right word, for sure.
A secondary unintended investment in winter riding is the clothes. That sort of took me by surprise, but I think I can be comfortable riding to almost subzero now without it being too out of control. That allows me to get out just about as much as I do during the regular riding season. Still, that was better than buying a trainer and not using it, I guess.
