Warming up in cold weather

That sounds like a good plan, Catrin!

The changing weather helps When I can do a full spinning class without having to continually hold myself back, then it will be time to start pushing myself on the bike. Until then, >40 degree temps and little wind seems a great plan!

Yes; Indiana weather has a way of deciding this for you. I think I've shared with you that I've had a couple of years where I simply haven't ridden outside from the first of January until early to mid March.

I know there are some intrepid ladies on TE who get out in all kinds of nasty weather, but it's just not really for me. I did get out a few times last January when the sun was out and the winds down, despite it being in the neighborhood of 15 degrees. I was SO stir crazy last winter though, as I wasn't even going to spin class. Now that I have a spin bike in my basement (yay!), I'm not sure I'll even do that. I have been eyeing some snow shoes, but I don't know that we feel like spending even more money on gear right now. It's gotten seriously out of hand as it is. For now, we'll likely just stick to winter hiking when the weather allows. We went for a lovely hike in BCSP this past weekend. We had the place to ourselves!
