Gosh, if this isn't my own internal debate just to get on the dang Peloton that is sitting in my living room! Ha!
Thank you! I need this in order to get back in the dang saddle. And inspiring me to hunt out groups with similar interests to mine in my own backyard. I could stand to do that too.
I am with you on riding in cold & rain. I bought all the gear, I've tried it, and it just isn't fun for me, and I ride my bike for fun! It's good to know your limits. I have a smart bike trainer, and I totally agree re: the convenience of it. I ride it during the week before work, and sometimes I just don't have 4+ hours on a weekend for a long outdoor ride, but I can hop on for an indoor ride. I also really like Zwift and the groups I've found & friends I have made. I also haven't ridden outdoors as much as I would like this spring - hoping to change that. I hope you find awesome places to ride and awesome people to ride with in NC!
Nice farewell to PNW. I imagine its bittersweet.

I'm so glad it sounds like you'll have a good cycling community in Charlotte. I hope things will get less stressful soon!
