Now that summer is drawing to a close and the days are getting shorter, I wondered how everyone trained in Autumn/Winter?
It's depressing that the motivation is still there, but the daylight hours aren't!

Just wondered if people substituted cycling with more cross training (ie running, swimming, etc), and/or longer rides at the weekend?

I'm really starting to get back into cycling, and can't bear the thought that I won't be able to ride my usual routes during the week as most of the roads are unlit.

What's everyone's plans for the upcoming months?

I'm hoping that giving the spinning more oomph, and some good weekend rides, should see me through winter, but I can't help feeling sad that I can't get out in the mornings.
I'm even considering taking longer lunch breaks at work, and finding routes I can do from my office, for an hour or so!
I'd be interested to hear how everyone else is planning to carry on their training once the dark nights set in?
