I ride outdoors whenever possible. Riding the trainer is just so mind numbing that I can't really do it unless its with a group of motivated people. Then it seems to be ok. I'd rather be out in the 20 degree weather on the road bike then on the trainer for a second. The coldness really isn't that bad as long as you have the gear for it. For me the biggest challenge is keeping the feet warm. I usually use a warm pair or two of socks in coordination with my booties to keep my feet warm. And when that doesn't work in lieu of buying winter shoes I'm going to tape up the shoe vents to try and keep a little more warmth. I'd love to get on the mtb on these cold days but with so little light after work the roadie is the best bet. The mtb comes out on the weekend if possible if conditions allow.
