It's that time of year and one of those days. Tomorrow is predicted to be sunny and low-50s. That's an easy choice, definitely a day to ride outdoors. Today, however...it's barely 40, it's overcast, and I'm still battling some lower back irritation/stiffness/weakness issues that came to a real head 2.5 weeks ago. So I find myself doing that infernal weighing of pros and cons to decide if I should ride outdoors.

Pros:
• it's not windy/rainy/snowing
• I always feel like time passes SO much faster outdoors
• I tend to push harder outside and feel like I get a better workout

Cons:
• more clothes = more laundry
• I am missing one of my warmer gloves (can't find that thing anywhere!) and my PI Cyclone gloves don't seem to be enough warmth <45º or so.
• the back business
• riding solo is lonely. Riding indoors I can distract myself with TV.
• bike is already in the house

Tell me I'm not the only one who does this this time of the year...
