Cold and dark

We are quickly approaching the part of the year where it gets harder and harder to bike outside. It's usually cold and dark by the time I get home from work, so I try to hop on the trainer indoors. Frankly, it stinks having to bike inside. There is no change, no excitement, no nothing. 60 minutes of cycling inside feels like an eternity. Every winter I go through a process of trying to figure out how to motivate myself to keep getting on the bike even when it seems like such a chore. I haven't come up with any nifty gimmicks yet, but the wheels are churning. Maybe after Thanksgiving, I'll set up a proper training plan.....or maybe I'll just wait till spring.
