I'm trying to guestimate how warm it actually needs to be for me to get out on the road. I think I'm just about ready to get out on my beater and start training outside. I don't think I can take another day of the trainer. Are there any roadies in the area that are already out there training? Please chime in.

Ft. Wainwright close enough?

Well, maybe more accurate to say I used to live there in early 1970's when my dad was stationed there in the Army ;-) I rode motorcycles when I lived there, but have wondered what the bike riding is like now.

Close enough indeed!

I actually am stationed at Ft Wainwright. It seems that being a roadie up here makes you a minority. I don't know how they were when you were here, but they are pretty bad. If the gravel doesn't get you, then the potholes may. None the less, I get out and ride as much as possible. It's not bad enough to deter me from getting out and riding.
