How Will You Get Through Winter?

Ride outside if it's dry. Below freezing and wet = bad. Other then the cost of winter gear, not bad, just fewer miles and not as fun. I just bought some Sidi Hydro Gore-Tex Winter Boots, so I have high hopes, as my feet have always been my week spot.

I like riding my bike in the winter with these on, and lots of yummy wool socks:

So, I just moved to a new town, new job... new house... etc. I am a few blocks from work and my goal is to commute all winter long on my bike. I have been riding it around town every day and I love it (I used to live 35 miles from town). I won't ride my good road bike in wet or icy conditions, but I bought my Surly to do just that. If I take good care of her, I feel like it's okay to ride in crappy conditions, that's her job. I am close enough to cross country skiing to go at lunch if I choose, but my biggest goal is to actually ride my horse through the winter this year... lofty ambition, I know

I don't think I can attach cleats to those...

I'm in the Bay area and while we do get weather, it's usually just really windy rainy days like today. I will ride on my trainer indoors, but I usually ride indoors even in the summer in the morning as I like an hour workout at 5AM. The rest of the time I'll ride outside.

I also like to use the winter to cross train - especially with weights - so I do more concentrate weight work. And this year I absolutely have to drop 20 pounds. So, I'll use this time to do that, too. Hopefully.
