		<description><![CDATA[It's hard to believe that it's winter once again.  Didn't we just get done with winter a few months ago?!   With the changing seasons and drop in temperatures it's too easy to get scared from riding even before actually getting on your bike.  I know how much of a shock it is to the system to get on your bike decked out in winter gear for the first time; it's frightening.

Well ladies and gents -- it's time to commit!  It's time to psych yourself up for a winter full of riding outside and overcome your desire to stay inside.  And you need to get outside soon because the longer you wait the harder it is going to be to get yourself motivated.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.indiebike.com&amp;blog=4888013&amp;post=554&amp;subd=indiebike&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The temperatures during the fall season (same with early spring) really test how creative you can be with your cycling wardrobe.  It's not warm enough to be wearing short sleeves and shorts, but it's not cold enough to break out the tights and jacket.  So then when presented with the opportunity to ride in the fall, your brain starts to think through what's in your closet that can be mix-and-matched to meet your needs.  I've seen some very creative attempts, from wearing to pairs of shorts (both with chamois) to arm warmers over a long sleeve jersey.  Whatever you find that works for you, great.  For those who don't have a clue where to begin, here are a few options to consider:<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.indiebike.com&amp;blog=4888013&amp;post=542&amp;subd=indiebike&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Base layers are thought to be for keeping warm.  When you're heading out on a ride and a single layer isn't enough, whether it be a jacket or jersey, you put on a base layer for a little extra warmth.  So then why do you see pros wearing a base layer under their short sleeve jerseys during the hot summer months?  It turns out base layers do more than keep you warm.  A short sleeve or sleeveless base layer underneath your jersey does two major things for you: 1)keeps your bib straps or jersey from rubbing you raw and 2)keeps your jersey away from your skin.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.indiebike.com&amp;blog=4888013&amp;post=523&amp;subd=indiebike&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nobody, and I repeat, nobody wants to become victim of a dreaded saddle sore.  Saddle sores are responsible for quite possibly the greatest discomfort you can experience on the bike.  They take professional cyclists out of races and force cycling addicts to take a few days off.  And anyone who has had a saddle sore knows that not riding because of them has nothing to do with being tough.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.indiebike.com&amp;blog=4888013&amp;post=470&amp;subd=indiebike&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
