Is it just me, or are there less posts lately? I assume it has to do with the weather changes in most of the country. Less people are riding, so less people are posting.

It's a typical pattern. Once it gets really cold, activity seems to pick up...particularly in non-cycling.

I have no heat, and so my fingers are often too cold to type! The heating guy is coming tomorrow to install the new heat pump. Whoopee!

50 degree high, wind and rain the last two days. Been to the gym to start lifting weights again. Tried the new trainer and it SUCKS (still waiting for the spinervals dvd to arrive). Spinning doesn't start for another 3 weeks. Ski season hasn't started yet. Virtual biking is all I've got for now! Where are all the people who live where's it's warm?!

I'm just extremely busy. This is a 7 day work week for me. We have a very large Fall sale at our shop for ski/snowboard season kickoff.
I also have been doing a local elementary school bike safety program all week. Another co-worker and myself have been discussing bicycle/helmet safety for about 425 elementary students. Monday/Tuesday was an in class session with today being a bike rodeo. Luckily for me, tomorrow's bike rodeo is postponed to next Wednesday due to the strong threat of thunderstorms.
I don't really get to sleep in, but I don't have to be at work until 2pm. I get to chill in the am!! Yea I am looking forward to that!

Yes, and it's not full-on "Wool Weenie" season yet, which takes on an entertaining life of it's own! but here in coastal California, we really don't have an off season for riding unless it rains hard or there is a bad fire. Today was sunny ,dry and 83 degrees

I am addicted to TE!! I have met so many nice people on here! I haven’t been posting much lately because I was just in an art show - getting stuff ready for that, and I have an art/talent show coming up in which I will be showing some of my work as well as playing my guitar - so practice music, paint, mat pics, etc. in addition to my full time night job. And I still sqeeze in a 20+ mile ride on my bike every other day. So I have been very busy! And I am still trying to read back through the older posts on TE and learning as much as I can about cycling. I remember living in colder climates and in the winter I would hike as much as I could - anything to be outside in the fresh air - even if it is colder. And I always have my trusty old “dreadmill” for rainy/cold days that I do not wish to get the bike outside.

I'm desperately trying to squeeze in as much as I can of my favourite outdoor activities before the weather turns nasty, and trying to spend less time doing non-essential stuff, like TE - and work

Ok . Sure. Brag about your nice weather! I'm thinking I'll try to tough it up and go out on the roads unless there is ice. Then someone tells me we're supposed to have Lots and Lots of snow this year. Great

My first thought after reading BleekerStGirls post (about food and emotional stuff) was snowshoeing...But I see Grog beat me to it. I txt'd my biking partner this morning that I wished it would hurry up and snow so I could snowshoe just once...i'm starting to have some withdrawal from that...sorry this is sort of a thread hijack...
It was too chilly to bike today...even though the sun is out, its 50 but breezy. I would go out if it wasn't for that darned breeze...
