    I tend to agree with Zen, although it's easy for me to say that this year, as I met and surpassed my goal. But overall, inertia plays no part in how far I ride. It tends to be more weather related and the state of my own body, i.e. my health. I always want to ride, but I have learned the hard way when I need to tone it down. By scaling down my goals during the last 2 years, I was able to raise the bar this year.
    I have no idea of what I will achieve this coming season and I am not going to set any official goals until I know what kind of job I have after I graduate in May. My only goal is to start riding consistently outdoors by March 5th, resume my early morning "dark rides" in April, and do at least one long ride a week. And to try to get a job that will allow me to commute a couple of days a week.
    Right now, although I am a little envious of reading the "first ride of the year" thread, I am concentrating on nordic skiing, snow shoeing, core work, yoga, etc. I've missed a few warmish days that I could have gone out on, but now that my road bike is on the trainer, I don't feel the need to take it down. I'll probably get out on my hybrid a few times in the next 2 months, but it's not the highest thing on my list. Although i was riding in temperatures at around 32 F in December and November, I seem to have lost my mojo for cold riding conditions.
    Oh, and did say I rode 3,227 miles?
