Ron, try to remember when you couldn't ride after your surgery and see if that help motivate you.

Also, are there any problems with clothing and equipment? When you get to work, are your hands and feet warm (or at least not frozen)? I know you really dislike cold weather--is this a life-long aversion or did it happen in the last few years? If you really dislike cold that much, maybe ridding in cold air isn't for you.

Maybe you can take the old-folks shuttle to work those days.
