5:30am: alarm goes off. Wake up, put on all my cold weather biking gear and get my fatbike out of my garage and loaded onto my car.
6:00am: I'm heading out - 45 minutes to the trails. Park, get the bike off the car and get the rest of my gear on.
7:00am: Ready to rock - I find a hill to do interval repeats on and crush that set for 45 minutes. Snow would be awesome, but here we just have frozen dirt because we've had very little snow this winter. It's still dark out and 24 degrees, but whatever - beats staring at a "virtual screen".
7:45am: the sun is finally coming up as I finish my workout back at the car. I get my bike loaded the bike back on the rack and stow the rest of my gear.
8:00am: head back home. Traffic is building so it's a solid hour back into the city.
9:00am: I missed breakfast with the family and the kids have already left for school but oh-well 'cause outdoors rules. I hit the shower, Get dressed and grab a quick breakfast for me and some coffee.
9:30am - out the door to work
10:00am arrive at the office. I've missed two meetings and my boss is angry and I'll have to work late so I'll miss dinner with the family again, but totally worth it. Outdoors rules.

I can't wait to do this again tomorrow. Those suckers riding on their dumb trainers don't know what they're missing.
