Aargh! 10 days without an outdoor ride.
My place of work shut down today because of snow, and the bad weather means that I haven't been outside on a bike for 10 days, which is the longest I've been away from it for a long time now. 
Things got bad enough last night that they even cut my spin class at the Y short by 30 minutes to clear everyone out. Anyone ever heard of an indoor bike session cut short due to weather?
Anyway, I'm getting a bit frustrated and needed to vent a bit. Hopefully we'll be back to good old rain in the next few days so that I can get back to the (now sandy) roads.
Those of you in the Puget Sound area can relate, I'm sure.

That really sucks man - maybe it's time to experiment with recreational drugs to make the trainer time more enjoyable?

I can't remember the last time I rode outside, it's been so long.
Oh wait, it was November 30th. I haven't ridden this month at all.
And your work shut down because of snow? Where do you work, a golf course or lawn bowling court?

Guess us Cali Boyz are spoiled!
..This morning was in the forties. Usually see about 10 others on this course. Today, I was lonely.
...But when you're used to 110 Deesgrees, 40's are freezing!
