I cope by.......GOING SKIING!! Cross country skiing is my first love, biking is a not too distant second. We don't have snow yet, so this time of year is kinda hard, but I'm doing a bit more mountain biking now. A lot of years I just sort of turn into a slug for a couple of months, but I am doing better this year. We haven't had too much of the 40 degree windy rainy crap yet. Once winter is here, I'll be all set. I really like having different sports for different seasons - keeps me from getting burned out. I tend to get bored with my regular routes after a couple of months.
