Indysteel -- I appreciated your post -- maybe I just need to keep thinking in terms of remaining active all winter and focusing on other activities in January and February. I'm in Ohio, our weather is probably about the same as Indianiapolis. And there are times the weather is crappy enough that I know I won't ride regardless of whether or not it is daylight.
Last weekend I bought an older Gary Fisher Marlin Mtn bike, so I have a ride for the campground and for crappy winter riding

LTD, I definitely like spinning class over the trainer. I have a trainer and can ride it for about 10 minutes before I get bored. With the right instructor, spinning can be fun. I like how intense it is, and it definitely helped me advance my fitness level.
Let me know how you like MTBing. I don't have a huge itch for one, but it's been in the back of my mind. If only my bank account were deeper.
