THE COLD IS HERE

Window_frost

Well not really, its just cold to me.  It has been about 40 degrees in the morning with a little bit of frost and it does not make for an easy transition from my toasty bed to anywhere.  This shouldn't be a problem for me since I was born and raised in Chicago, but it is.

Along with the cold weather and the change of seasons comes cold weather riding.  It takes a lot of bundling and a lot of motivation.  It's easy to wake up and roll right back over without ever thinking twice about blowing off a ride.  I am guilty of that. 

Currently I get up if I have to get the kids to school, if the kids wake me up or if I have to be at work. That pretty much means I have no choice every day but to get out of bed.  So I'm not making it out on the road bike but I am making it to the gym and that counts for something doesn't it? 

I have to keep telling myself that with my lack of motivation at least I am doing something...but god knows I need some motivation to get out the spinning studio studio and out on the road.  To many this is the most beautiful time of the year to ride!  I must seize the moment...I'll get right on that!
