1. Prefer to go in the rain than turbo
2. 2 weeks if that, cant wait to get back out there
3. nothing wrong with a good cafe stop on a 60mile+ ride
4. loose weight over winter while there are no the stresses of racing
5. Early morning get all the excercise done early you feel great about it and it doesnt split the day up

4) As much as possible – you’ll feel great losing it again! – nice answer

Answers to the other dilemmas:

1) Never!
2) 2 months this year – I’m not a racer and I’m not mad enough to cycle all year long (commute aside)
3) Yes – but I never do – prefer to keep on keeping on
4) As much as possible – you’ll feel great losing it again!
5) Early morning every time (less traffic and more animals!)

I’ll be honest, when you get a really nice winter bike you end up riding it all year around. Mudguards and all.

I got myself a TK2 frame a couple of years back and its such a lovely ride I use it all year around. My other bike doesnt get the look-in it should.
