Riding through winter is not only for the pros or the obsessed bike riding mad mountainbikers. We ride for enjoyment so motivation is not normally needed. But then along comes winter and warm light is replaced by dark cold. So the a great technique to see past the winter is to find yourself a winter carrot. It must be juicy and tempting.
There are many options like setting a distance target for the month to keep you on the bike, picking some MTB races through winter to keep you honest, preparing for a big race at the end of winter that needs some focused training or hooking up your trainer in front of the TV everyday for Tour de France. Then the biggest carrot of all is that when you hit spring you will be feeling good and not have to start all over again.
