Why don't you get an indoor trainer? I've set up my roller in front of the TV so I can avoid riding in the cold and wet in case it's happening to be riding day and outside it's raining/snowing and still have a good time. The setup makes the Mrs. happy, too. Otherwise she's scared some weirdo runs me over in the dark. Keep the outside rides to dry weekends where you can ride during daylight. Ride on. Next year you'll be glad you did it
