this is what I do also plus add in swimming (laps) and yoga. I feel it really helps my core and upper body strength that has gone a little by the wayside during cycling season.

I too am planning on adding x-country skiing to the itinerary. The Wednesday night club riders switch over to weekend cross country skiing outtings and I found a couple of other cyclists who x-country ski (AND own a lake cabin)

the main reason I don't ride in the winter besides the ice is I HATE riding in the cold almost as much as in the wind (but I CAN ski when it is -15F )
