What's wrong with this picture?

Look at the snow! How am I supposed to ride my NEW bike in this????? So far it has not made it out on the road (since my test ride when I bought it).

I am quite pleased with it... I wanted a triple chain ring, but instead got a compact double (smaller ring the same size as my small triple ring on the other bike) and a bigger rear cassette (11/28). That should give me better climbing gears than the old bike, even though it has a triple (with a smaller rear cassette).

I just want to get out and ride! I ran this morning, in 15 degrees with a NW wind. Started out pretty cold, but warmed up when the sun started shining... I already signed up for a triathlon and 2 duathlons in the spring, so I need to redevelop my running ability. There was not much of that last year--in fact if I had not run 5 miles on New Year's Eve I would have had more MILES swimming than running in 2009. Not so good to do that 2 years in a row and still expect to maintain running fitness...
