I just change up my routine. I go from riding after work to spinning, running and yoga. I ride when I can on the weekends. Come January and February, I'll be lucky to even do that. I miss riding, but the change in routine also does me good.

I see winter as a time to focus on other athletic goals. As much as I love cycling, it makes me neglect other fitness areas--like upper body strength and weightbearing exercise--that are important.
