Bleak, cold, dreary dark­ness – those words bring two things to mind for me: spelunk­ing, and win­ter­time in Ohio. Sadly, the long days of sum­mer sun­shine have left us with shorter days, early evenings and far less time to squeeze rides into busy sched­ules. For many, win­ter forces us down deep into our own dis­mal trainer caves for the sea­son (hope­fully you don’t need a head­lamp or climb­ing gear to get there).
