I know what you mean about indoor training! I bought a Surly Pug last year and haven’t looked back. I live in Bemidji and although we have some great bike trails they’re not groomed for winter biking so I just stick to the backroads and scores of frozen lakes up in my world. My best purchase was a set of 45Nrth studded Dillenger tires, they are the best thing on ice. Give me a one hour ride at -17 degrees over a boring hour on the treadmill any day.
