got out on the bike again on thursday and overestimated the temperature. I only put on (and only have) shorts, and my legs were freezing. So i turned back and managed to put in about 1.5 miles. Only a few more weeks and I'll be fine pounding it outdoors again.

Same here...As far as itching to get back on the road bike. No trainer for me...although, someone just gave me a cyclops magnito (i think that's the model). Anyway, I have been out on the mtn bike in the local woods. 4 days last week. Couldn't pull my tired a*s out of bed this morning. I'm good for tomorrow though!

Yeah, for me its the wind when riding on the road that kills me. I'll go out on my mtn bike in all kinds of weather. This year was out there a few weeks ago when it was about 19 one morning. Road riding though...ouch!

Yeah the cold days can be a bit brutal. I was fortunate the wind was at my back on the commute in so I had some good speed going. I've been working at figuring out the right stuff to wear for a few years now. 2 Under-armour shirts, shorts with the long tights over them, 2 pairs of socks, and a pair of winter gloves that allow me enough dexterity to click the shifters. I also carry a back pack with my change of clothes in there, so that keeps me warm too. Parts that get coldest are the neck and feet. Spring's just around the corner, right?

I went out for some cold mountain rides this winter... booties were the clincher. I am so happy with them, my feet are always the first to go cold and the hardest to keep warm.

Got out on the road today for the first time since November, short ride of 40 minutes. Followed it with a solid run...trainer has been retired for the year.
