WHY THIS HAPPENS
✗
No event anchor — without a target, winter training feels optional
✗
Training rooms are uncomfortable — too hot, bad airflow, poor audio
✗
Indoor boredom — 2-hour zone 2 rides on a trainer feel endless
✗
No social structure — group rides dry up, you're alone
✗
Plans don't match winter reality — 10-hour weeks in December are fantasy for most
✗
Dark rides feel unsafe, outdoor rides get skipped, indoor never happens
✗
Motivation depletes faster than it can be rebuilt alone
