I consider myself a cyclist (4000 miles/yr the last 2 or 3 years), but I dont like cycling in the dark. the past 3 or 4 years I have been running 3 days a week Sept thru early May. I have completed two triathlons.
cycling is definitely more fun, but, I do like the results from cross training. I feel I am in the best condition in the past 30 years
