It's hard to get jazzed up about a taking my bike (and me) out for a ride when it's raining outside. Or when it's cold. Or dark. These are the three elements we've been battling here in Austin over the last few winter months. But I am optimistic. Soon it will be a glorious 90 degrees and I'll be popping salt tablets like crazy. But for now, I will continue to bond with my bike trainer and some of the crazy spin instructors at the local health club. Hurry up summer, I miss you!
