You friggin winter wussies, htfu (opening scene Road to Perdition)
First time I've seen this movie was tonight - loved the opening scene. I'm not going to complain about riding in the winter here in TX.

Road to Perdition; terrific movie. Classic Hanks as a mob hitman.

Amused by the gentleman from Austin saying that others are wussies, when winter proper does not exist for him.

There's nothing between the great white north and Texas but a couple of fence posts. We get some decent cold snaps although it tends to not stick around very long thankfully. Of course I know its no where near like Nebraska, Minnesota, Chicago, or New York.

I actually hit the trainer this morning instead of riding outside. It was 36 with 10-15 mph wind. The big problem is that it rained all day yesterday so there are tons of damp leaves on the ground. I don't have a fender on either bike, and so there will be some standing water to go through here and there.
I'll delude myself into thinking I was HTFU by just getting up at 5:30 AM to ride the trainer.
