I haven't been riding as much, either, but I am not sure if it's really less than last year. Probably just one less longer type ride during the week. But, I am feeling like I am ready to wind down a bit. Getting the new bike at this time of year has ramped up my "mojo" a bit, but once I hit 2500 miles, my enthusiasm goes down. It's as regular as clockwork every year. I am not as close to 3,000K as I was last year at this point, and it's because I am working . My choice. I have to keep reminding myself what happened when I quit teaching. Bad for my mental health...
Problem is, all of a sudden, my weight is also creeping up. Really just a couple of pounds, but I know what will happen if I don't catch it now.
You will love snow shoeing, Catrin. Plus, you get to wear all of that merino wool and winter gear that you can also wear cycling or hiking.
