Riding is pretty much done for me until spring. We have had a few snows and temps are hovering around freezing. Worst part about living in Michigan is the 7 month period known as winter that starts some time in November most years.

I took a week off cycling and all physical activity besides walking while on vacation. And tbh I overindulged the whole time.
Went back on the bike this weekend and could barely complete a 40 mile ride. You lose it so fast… |

I managed to squeak in a 15 mile ride today before it got dark. Mid-50's, so tolerable weather. Going to be fewer and fewer of those days for a while.

There's nothing like the real thing to keep up the tempo, an indoor bike is okay but it's not the same as being outside.

Did 10 miles on the local roads today while trying out my new Bar Mitts for my straight handlebar hybrid bike. They worked as well as the Bar Mitts on my road bikes. Also trying x-country ski pants instead of bib tights. They also worked well. Had a pair of MTB liners under them. 31F here and I stayed toasty warm.

Regular press ups and punch bag workouts during the day keep the tempo up for the coming rides. |

Barely touched 5c but the usual 10 mi ride to the farm and back was fine, dressed up similar to you M_Six with under leggings, long sleeved Damart type undervest,gloves of course and a bandana neck gaiter.

Topped 5000 miles today on my way to my goal of 5200 on the year. Should be easy enough to hit that.

Congrats on the mileage M_Six
I'm going batty with the travel schedule and cold weather. Exercise is falling off the table, to my chagrin. I checked out a local rec center near my travel gig. Hope to get a session or two in next week. First priority is to ascertain my shoulder status from last winter's impingement in the pool. I'm going to do some weights and swim a 100 yards or so to give things a test drive. |

It looks fine but your Trek is the bees knees for those serious work outs on the roads and forests. |

The first thing I did when I got my Carrera was to swap to the road tyres from the off-roaders taking them from the last bike. Off on my walk now definitely, should give me an appetite for dinner later.

I'm one of those folks. More miles on the bike than the car this year.
