Anywho, i'm just aiming for 10,000 for the year. It seems far away though.

Winter is tough, especially if you get snow and/or ice. There are positives about winter riding, i.e., finding yourself having the trail either to yourself or with other die-hard, trail rule savvy athletes. Acclimating to the cold, riding in the dark, etc., is the real challenge but that's a temporary thing. Once you figure out the right layers/"keep warm system," you'll be fine. You might consider investing in winter cycling shoes, too. Well worth the investment.

I have to admit that I feel indignant when the warm weather folks come out of their toasty caves and start crowding/behaving badly &/or unsafely on "my" trail. Anyone who slogs it out there in 20 degrees w/wind chills even lower should have emminant (sp?) domain! LOL

You can do the 10K. I just takes determination and discipline.
