have you checked out the "Ice Bike" thread at www.bikejournal.com ?
Ah, but if you had studded tires on your winter bike (a must in your climate), you could be out not only getting a few miles, but also working the upper body and having a blast! Winter is young, get yourself some studded tires and a beater winter bike and go have fun!
I have **thought** about studded tires...... my neighbors will really think I have lost it, but I will check that out.............. I haven't been on the Ice Bike thread, but you have my curiosity peaked, I will check that out later today!

But you have to be willing to sit and spin for 2 to 3 hours at a time.

Bring it on!! I believe the playoffs are on Sunday - 8 hours of football and bike bliss

I eagerly await being able to just hop on the bike and go.
If we wait, it will come!!

Egads Flye, you have worse weather than I!!! Oh, wait, I just checked the forcast for this weekend....uh....are you sending it my way? 7F with strong winds. Another Coach Troy weekend.

The hardest part is the eyes, but I picked up some over-the-glasses safety glasses (dork, dork) that really help and don't fog up.

Hang in there...spring is coming. Keep the trainer spinning and keep looking for a day you can sneak out. The ice will go away and the temp will be warm enough and it *will* come before March. Have faith!

But, the best thing about spring is that when you hit the roads, you'll be able to do a long ride without discomfort. The trainer is a sad and distance second for training, but it does work.
I promise to keep the misery to myself, I won't send the weather your way.

How do you like coach Troy?

I had to laugh about the glasses!! Perhaps some "post cataract surgery shades" for the road??

Flybye, when's your century?
It is the first part of June. I should be able to train for it just fine, I was just thinking if it was actually possible to do all of one's training indoors, most of mine will be, but not all!!
