These people are crazy!

My bike (not in winter)

I think I would regularly ride my bike through the streets of Milwaukee's winter before I would find myself dropping the kind of cash these folks do to saddle up inside a line of riders and sweat among total strangers. I am not the type to hit the gym, although I do work pretty hard keeping my aging body from going completely soft. I would much rather be out on the streets. Long rides in the summer short, intense rides in the winter. It can be done, and is ultimately more rewarding. The view has got to be better than spandex and sweat, that's for sure.

I had a bad year of bike riding this year. I hope to get back in the saddle, so to speak in  very early spring!
