    Neoprene overshoes are definitely worth the money - they keep your shoes (mostly) dry as well

    Count me in. I'm using a trainer since the weather has gotten cold, but between TrainerRoad and Strava, I'm getting a miles number. Here's where I am so far, though I'm not sure what goal I'll wind up with. Following the plan in TrainerRoad means I'll be getting more than a few miles, I'm sure. So, I guess, aim for 250miles?

    Current progress:
    Dec 1 - 12.7mi
    Dec 2 - 5.8mi
    Dec 3 - 18.2mi
    Dec 4 - 30.1mi
    Dec 6 - 12.1mi

    Total so far: 78.9mi

    If I could find my Bluetooth speed/cadence sensor I could get miles as well. At the moment it is missing so I am just going by minutes on the trainer. For me the cold is less of an issue than the icy patches. I really don't need to crash just to get in a bike ride.

    Finally got some more miles on the board after another really crappy week*.

    Fri 09 - 30.32 miles

    MTD 50.19 / 200, YTD 2612.72 / 2500

    (* when I say that a bowel cancer screening by endoscope only just made the top 3 crappiest items, that will give some idea of how enjoyable this week has been)

    52.7km of 100km December goal

    I ordered a lot of presents for other people this week, and snuck in some winter bike gloves for myself. And a really tiny pump, and a rearlight with rechargeable battery. It will be a little like Christmas when they'll arrive - hopefully soon :)

    @35dollars Ugh, that sounds like a horrible week for sure! Hope everything is alright now.

    Goal for the month is 257 miles (strange number is to get me up to 4000 miles for 2016).

    Did an odd indoor workout today, watched a game of rugby while doing a two hour low intensity ride and then did a 3 min max power test. Maybe a two hour "warmup" was a little excessive!

    34 miles to kick off the month.
    I've been training indoors so far this month but today got out for my first outdoor ride for a month.
    Felt really alien to be cycling outdoors again! Wind noise - constant gear changing - steering! What's that all about? :smile:

    Lovely leisurely 46 mile ride but did include my nearest big climb and the view was spectacular - ten minute uphill grind - https://www.strava.com/segments/628859

    Unusually hands didn't suffer from the cold too much but feet were frozen. It's surprisingly difficult to walk properly when you can't feel your feet.....

    120 miles so far this month, 46 outdoors and 74 indoors mostly on WattbikePro. Been playing with the Wattbike hub phone app, interesting and the fitness tests are challenging.

    137 miles left to hit my goal for the year.
