Snow and biking

The first training ride is rapidly approaching. I've been trying to get myself ready but it is somewhat discouraging to be greeted by scenes such as these.

While the snow has melted somewhat from those snaps I'm still doing all my riding inside on the trainer. Its a great gadget but it's not the same as riding outside. I'm using one of my bike packs to hold the remotes (gotta do something whilst riding) and the phone (because you know it's going to ring the second you're doing something where it's inconvenient to get to the phone).

The first training ride is April 5, so let's hope that it doesn't snow any more.
