Due to a time crunch — and the major ice field inhabiting my neighborhood right now — today's workout will be on the trainer. It's just a quick, steady spin anyway.
Tomorrow's workout will be outside. Same with Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday is a yoga day, so that will probably be inside. Seems like the most comfortable way to go about things.
Regardless, the thaw is finally here. Maybe it's because I started formal training almost six weeks later than in previous years, but the winter didn't seem that bad. Based on Tuesday's workout, I'm right where I need to be. And with the weather improving right at the beginning of Base 3 (the current phase), this should turn into very good things.
The only semi-ironic issue is the great kit liquidation. Most of my good stuff is pure roadie-type kit — lots of white. That's not really ideal for riding in the thaw. It's going to be messy as hell. The dark kit I do have will be perfect for riding in the thaw, but the quality is not so good.
So I have two choices, really: wear the good stuff and stay on the front at all times to avoid road splatter (yes, even from those with full-wrap fenders); or wear the dark stuff and dip my entire undercarriage in chamois cream.
These are the decisions I face.

I don't think anyone would chastise you for wearing white bottoms with a grey top. Seriously, we aren't the fashion police. Well, maybe Lucas is. He's so pretty and all.
you going to wear white before memorial day ..... gasp :D
I'd chastise myself, Mike. Mismatching kit is an offense of the highest degree. I shall look pro, even if I don't ride like it and my taint is on fire.
