Even though I am injured, I was able to ride the Fuji today. Just around town, see if I remembered how to pedal one. I was wondering if the ride would even take place because of this:
This is the aftermath of the nerf gun battle I had last night with some of my younger relatives. [...]
Today I did something sad, but necessary: I set up the trainer in the basement and rode my bike inside. It’s only mid October and we’ve already had our first snowfall. Insignificant in accumulation, but a huge psychological blow. Winter is coming early, and it rarely leaves as early as it comes.

Last weekend I got out for a short spin. It was both glorious and guilt-ridden; I had company staying with me but the 50+ degrees and bright sunshine begged me outside. My company urged me to just go already, so I did. I compromised my good manners with my desire to stretch the legs in [...]

So–how do you stay motivated to spin inside? My top [...]
