I agree he's horrible and should go, but sorry... a petition will do nothing.

Trump has been trash since the 1980s. He was a garbage president in 2016. If you "fell for it" in 2020 and/or 2024, you're dumber than dirt.

I like that... Make the best of the nicer days and push there rather than trying to hit some other quota, riding when it's unpleasant, and getting de-motivated.

Lately it's been cold + actively snowing, so it just hasn't been appealing to go out and ride. Like another commenter mentioned there's also the factor of it getting dark early. So, it's really just been a lack of motivation on my part recently.

I've been trying out different layering to try to get temps in the sweet not too hot/not too cold spot. Still got more work to do, but am getting there. One thing I found has helped was to throw a handlebar bag on in colder temps - makes it easier to stash something if I get warmer than expected or have some additional if it's colder... beats having a backpack that gets my back sweaty.

Getting dark early is what kind of kills it for me too. By the time I'm getting off work the light is fading fast and the temperature is dropping with it.

Dealing with mechanical issues always sucks, but that's another thing I've had in the back of my mind - it would be tough to deal with that kind of stuff with chilly or gloved fingers.
