I actually got out for 30 miles on Saturday, wasn't too warm but I got a chance to test the shoftshell. Works great.

Nice change of pace from the trainer that I've been using all of one week now.

i wanted to get more in yesterday, but we were hosting a party so i had to get back to the house and make sure the beer was cold!!!

Went out on in the woods both saturday and sunday late mornings, early afternoons. But had a great ride this morning from 8-9 in the woods. 28 degrees at the start, which wasn't too bad..(glad i had a late meeting otherwise I would have been out an hour earlier). The trails were great, the dirt was frozen and crunchy which made for great traction. However, after about 40 mins, rear tire flatted. And I had no tire irons....but only a 10 min walk out back to the car. Picking up some tire irons now on the way home from work..changing the tire tonight and will be back out there tomorrow a.m. at 7.

I have neoprene half calf booties from Side Track... don't even know if they're still made anymore, but they work great. I'm a big fan of the covers that come half way up your tib/fib otherwise my ankles get cold.

Keep on keepin on the trainer. It's def. no where near as fun as riding outside (I kinda figured that) but it is kind fun watching ski pr0n while riding a bike. I'm averaging 45 min - 1 hr... much past that and I start getting bored and/or sore from sitting in the same positions without ever getting out of the saddle.

23 mile commute yesterday. it was kinda cold, but i wore mittens so it wasn't too bad. plus i didn't have to shift as i was ridin' fixed (since it's hard to shift wif mitts on!). today i rode my geared bike. it's not as cold today. plus it's nice and sunny!!!!
