Couples That Cycle Together Stay Together

So...recently we ventured out for a winter ride in Ohio. The weather was a bit chilly that day.  I think the high that day was 41 degrees, which sounds horrible to be on a bike, but when you dress in the correct gear it's not so bad. Who am I kidding it still sucks. I want summer back. Just like any other winter ride we had to avoid the usual obstacles: ice on the road, dogs, so many dogs. (PSA: Please keep your dogs on a leash or in a fence. They like to chase those of us on bicycles and cause us to wreck at high speeds.)
